Sapphire

Sapphire

The road I've walked for my whole life

Has brought me to this crossroads

And I'm standing here beside you

I know you've never been someone

To take things on a leap of faith

Please trust me once and never cry again

Hold my had

We can take this slowly

And see where it might lead

Going Into Going Into You

And everything seemed to make sense

The first time that things seemed to fall in place

Just for a little while

And now my hopes and dreams are burning down

Claw out my eyes

I'd rather be blind

Than to see you turn around

And walk away from me

Tear off my ears

I'd rather be deaf

Than hear you

Saying goodbye

Lucky ones will never

Share what we've shared

For I'm damned to know

Exactly just what might have been

Can't somebody stop this?

I feel like I'm drowning

And everywhere I turn the water's deeper

It would tear out my heart

To be nothing more to you

Than a smile that occasionally

Crosses your face

Twenty five years from now

What will we have?

A pile of ash called

What could have been?

Treasures can slip through your fingertips

And sapphires melt in your hands

As I gaze in your jaded eyes

I pray that this road isn't ending

Walking down this road

I thought I felt you hold my hand

But looking I can see my palm is empty

How can you turn from me?

All that I wanted

Was to catch the stars and lay them at your feet

It would tear out my heart

To be nothing more to you

Than a smile that occasionally

Crosses your face

Treasures can slip through your fingertips

And sapphires melt in your hands

You turn to me with your jaded eyes

And I'm scared that I know how this ends

And everything fell into place

But now it is falling apart

I'm trying to hold on

But I can see you fading

Be quick-Or you've missed it

Sometimes when our backs are turned the choice is made

Once-In a lifetime

If you didn't see it coming then you're much too late

This self constructed prison

Is comfortable and warm

But I can't escape the feeling

That-there must be something more

Everyting we've been through

That's made us who we are

Has broughtus here and now the choice is ours to make

I'm begging you

I'm pleading on my knees

I can't believe that this was just a big mistake

From Jeweled Gemstone Memories

To Jaded Guarded Energies

To Just Gentle Victory

I know we could last

Tell me what I've got to do,

Tell me what I've got to do,

To Get Inside Get Inside your heart

Where did we go

When there are no more conspiracies?

When there's only you and only me

Seeing each other for the first time?

I pledge myself

If you stumble I will carry you

And wipe away the tears if you will mine

And I'm holding out for a miracle

But I'm scared to let go of the bird in my hand

And afraid taht I've run out of time for a second chance

I want to drown myself in your eyes

I want to believe but I'm scared that you're lying

Tell me there's hope for the ghost of a second chance

Chances are meant

Meant to be taken

But life's so fragile

And it's breaking into pieces

Somebody help me

I feel like I'm dying

And I'm reaching for your hand

But it's not there

And I pray we won't know

What we're missing

And we'll never imagine

What might have been

But twenty five years from now

I'll still hold on

To a fading dream

Of me and you

Treasures have slipped through my fingertips

And the sapphire vanished from my hand

I'll never forget the look in your eyes

When you lied and said this wasn't ending

Treasures have slipped through my fingrtips a

And the sapphire vanished from my hand

I say goodbye to your jaded eyes

As we reach our unnatural end
