THE LOVE 4/01/98
SO MANY THINGS ARE RACING THROUGH MY MIND
THE TEARS WELL UP FROM TIME TO TIME
LAUGHING AND DANCING WITH THE REST
HAVING A TIME NEAR TO THE BEST
I THINK OF OTHER THINGS TO DO
I'D LIKE TO DO THEM WITH YOU
THE ONES WHO FINISH LAST
ARE ONES WHO'S SHADOW IS LONGEST CAST
MINE IS ONE OF THESE EVEN THOUGH I AIM TO PLEASE
I WISH TO RID MYSELF OF THE PAIN
WHICH FEELS LIKE BEING RUN OVER BY A TRAIN
MY MIND AND HEART CAN'T TAKE MUCH MORE
TOO MANY TIMES, SHUT IN MY FACE, IS A DOOR
I'LL CARE ABOUT YOU IF YOU CHOOSE TO CARE ABOUT ME
IF YOU WANT ME TO I'LL LEAVE YOU BE
IF I THINK TOO LONG I MIGHT HURT MYSELF
WITH A WEAPON ON A SHELF
MEMORIES NEED TO BE ERASED OR LOCKED AWAY
SO I CAN START OFF FRESH, A NEW DAY
LOVE IS ANOTHER WORD FOR HOW I FEEL
YOU MUST BE THINKING, "HOW CAN IT BE REAL?"
YOU'LL NEVER KNOW UNLESS YOU ASK
ARE YOU UP TO THE TASK?
