I walk in your footsteps love
when you're not even there
you fly me in my fleeting steps
towards the dreams we share
I'll be with you till the time itself
is overstretched and breaks
for I will be in love with you
for longer than it takes
I love myself as I love you
as time will surely tell
I love you better for the way
you love yourself as well
I'll be with you till time itself
is overstretched and breaks
for I will be in love with you
for longer than it takes
you don't know the times I've cried
the purest simple joy
I met a girl who took me in
I could never destroy
she feels my pleasures and my pains
she gives more than she's got
I'll never be worthy of that
no matter what
through all my barbed wire
through my fury's blackest hour
she bursts the bubbling rages
that built the ivory tower
through all my barriers
my anger and despair
I've got a friend to turn to and
she's always there
