"I would rather die living, than live dying"

The drive

I drove on by
when I saw my soul
on the side of the road
it was broken and battered
sideways and tattered
then shortly thereafter
I saw you

All that I am
was left here without you
like a lifetime without laughter
like nothing that mattered
I couldnt drive on by
when I saw you

after everything
after everything with you
in this life we all end lost
when I lost the strength in me
like the hole in your heart
where I love you

I cant walk around anymore
nothing I try can carry me
Its not something confidential
its broken glass in place of a heart
I'm the only one that know the sum
together where I found me
and you found you

I remember the day
when I lost my soul
now I cant trade this darkness
I cant run from this place of cold
where time doesnt matter anymore
nothing is young and nothing is old
everything removed in my soul
but you

If

If
If I could save you
save you from this
I would run around
from town to town
everywhere to hold you
to know youre alright


you
do you think
we have suffered much
when I close my eyes
I think of the lights
that have passed us by



If only I
I could see what you see
If only I
If only I could know
when you bleed
If only I
could be what you need
like flowers that grow
something beautiful that dies


so lets take time
and watch flowers grow
never close our eyes
as everything we know
ends and goodbye



Beautiful you
did you suffer much
did you close your eyes
so you dont see the light
go rushing by


From across the oceans
I was gathered all around you
every pain you know
I too felt inside

once

I'm all out of form
all out of hope
one more heartbreak
could leave me forlorn

when I was with you
I felt far from home
you know the reason why
never gave me
human grace

Its easy to decieve
even easier to tease
with a heart
you can't release

I spend so much of my time
believing in the lies
to keep a dream alive
its no use

There are songs
there is music
that reminds me
she is out there
so I say a prayer

Everytime I close my eyes
I'm left alone
left wondering why
I dont despise
for loving
what was you

I cant live without
a safe place
so I'll close my eyes

now all I see in me
is the love for you
what was once
so alive in you
