I would open up the book, | |
but i don’t know where to start to look, | |
your so tall and your so strong, | |
stand by me cause this wont take too long, | |
do you remember i called for you but you were gone. | |
I thought we were safe but i was wrong, | |
i’m just left here standing looking on. | |
You ask me which way i’ll go, | |
whichever way the wind blows, i don’t know | |
And there is no eternity at any price, | |
beggers and choosers dont get to live in paradise, | |
people die for just one kiss, | |
and its plain to me, | |
we are not being everything that we could be, | |
noone wants to run the risk, | |
sometimes i wish i was blind, | |
i thought i saw a whole lot more than this |
