Spoken Dreams

Beautiful Sky

I've been searching for the words

That I can't seem to say

And the answers to this riddle

Seem lost and thrown away



I've been lost in my own self

And then damned to repeat

As the errors of my ways

Brought me back down to my knees



I was dead inside

Until you woke me up

I was petrified

Until you showed me love



I've been searching for the words

That I can't seem to say

Now I'm searching for the reasons

That have lead me here today



You found me at my weakest

And you found me in the dark

So afraid of ever being loved

And so afraid of my heart



I wasn't living life

Until you woke me up

I was just a lie

Until you showed me love



Now my heart is falling fast

Onto the rocks of your soul

As your eyes lay onto me

And burn fires long since cold



This old heart may never mend

And yet I give it to you

With the pain I've kept inside

From the ashes I once knew



I could never find the words to say

Just what I really mean

And I know it's hard to understand

The reasons why I sing



But I was dead inside

Until you came and woke me up

Too many tears I've cried

Over the heart that fell in love



It seems my heart keeps finding ways

To push the ones I love away

And the words just come out wrong

Like I never meant to say



As I open my eyes from that sleep

I see the one whom I want to be

Standing beside through this life

Yet the one she's with ain't me



Now I feel alive

Because you woke me up

I have wings to fly

Because you showed me love
