Can this be real, you care what I feel You reach into my shadows, all that I conceal Can this be true, all I want to know is you Run my fingers through your pain to feel the way you Do And it's more than this lonely child can bear To chalk a line between us while you're standing There Awakening a part of me I didn't know was there And if I can't have you I want to be deep and blue To dive beneath the waves and drown these dreams of
You But it's just one more thing, another link to you It draws me like the tide draws the sand Can this be fair, I reach out, you're not there You chose a different life, something I can't share Can you explain why I'm happy all the same Why I hold my head up high, smile on through the rain For though I'm holding on to what is true And tell myself that I can't be with you I'm caught up in a tangled web of dreams I can't see Through
