4 a.m., another sleepless night Each weary word I write, a tear on the page Here I am, asking myself again Why does this love we're in stay just out of reach? Tell me why we never get the balance Just exactly right, we scream across the distance From our separate sides And wonder when did passion turn to pride? You and I, two lives, one heart Believing every day will be the day When sweet forgiveness starts I need you to let me stand alone To call my life my own, yet stand by my side I know I don't let you know enough Don't let love show enough, don't let you be strong Oh, tell me why we never get surrender Just exactly right, we never can remember There's another side That lies between the passion and the pride You and I, two lives, one heart One leap of faith away We stay until the sweet forgiveness starts Walls, we built these very walls Where my shadow falls alone And doors between my life and yours Open them before everything is gone Sweet forgiveness, touch me before dawn You and I, two lives, one heart We keep the dream alive Surviving 'til the sweet forgiveness starts
