reach out to me
do you see me standing here
the icy wind blowing thru my hair
blowing here, blowing there
blowing broken promises & memories everywhere
do you care?
do you see these tears falling from my eyes
dropping here, dropping there
making salty pools of grief & despair
DO you care?
i'm tethered to a broken rope
falling aimlessly thru time
you were the hands that held it in place
but i've tumbled so far i cant recall your face
did i ever know it in the 1st place?
the heart that once bid me fly
has withered in my chest
turned black from love denied
once upon a time i pinned all my hopes on just your sigh
& stupid me
i never ever thought you'd make me cry
the life i created with my constant sacrifice
was all a lie
do you see me standing here
icy wind blowing thru my hair
blowing here, blowing there
blowing broken promises & memories everywhere
do YOU care?
do you see these tears falling from my eyes
dropping here, dropping there
making salty pools of grief & despair
do you CARE?
i wont deny the way you make me feel
but i dont know you
you're a stranger still
all the things i see in you
i thought i saw before
your smile so new to me
is like knocking on the past's door
& every time i meet your gaze
i feel the pull back into love's maze
dont you see it plainly on my face??
reach out to me
i've grown bored with playing chase
arent you tired of the games?
do you see me standing here
icy wind blowing thru my hair
blowing here, blowing there
blowing broken promises & memories everywhere
DO YOU care?
do you see these tears falling from my eyes
dropping here, dropping there
making salty pools of grief & despair
DO YOU CARE?
second chances rarely come
but this is what we have
a second chance at love unleashed
love unconditional
perfect peace
but just like me you have to reach
reach out to me!
