There stands the truth in front of me As told by you so candidly For me to siphon off the hate A bitter taste A wounded mate I'm not the man I want to be I fled with my found certainty No matter how much love I gave No amount from me could ever save You fear the world You hate yourself You fill the books upon your shelf With endless words and reasons why The love between us was a lie You blame me for the tragic end You claim I was a broken man You act so blameless yet again And wield your righteous perfect pen Oh but one day when the spotlight's gone I hope you have the light of dawn To shine its truthful gaze upon The starry-eyed and youthful pawn You carelessly for granted took For one who would forever look At you with all his endless faith Oh but nothing lasts and nothings safe Yes nothing lasts and nothings safe Yes nothing lasts and nothings safe I see us now for what we made A life that from the outside looked So perfect from a story book But freedom is the breath of life And now I'm on a path to find A half of me that brings alive The seed before I have to die Please mother won't you stay alive And father won't you see my bride And bounce my baby with your pride To see your spark take root to find Another life that came to be From honest love and honest need I feel it now so tenderly The kiss of what will come to be
