Bridges burn when the hearts are lost Eyes close, windows shutter, what is the cost Of failed love and life not lived What would be the end of a soul deceived? The whispering throes of sweltering passion fade Shall we continue or will we personally cascade Down the road of endless courses of the faithless river Will we have found our voice if it's lost in the litter? In the silence, in the noise, perhaps it's all the same Reckless, selfish, pointing fingers all to blame The night is dark but sometimes the heart is darker Sometimes I wonder what would happen if we stayed together
The world is greedy, hungry—crumbling for you The heart is selfish, brackish—have you paid your due? In a fallen well of spite and happiness forsaken Sacrifices are made to ease the pain of dreams forgotten Because in the heat of anger, all reason die The mouth speaks when the heart wanted to lie It should have been bliss, it should have been fine What did others say—why, now, in regret, we dine? Keep us fighting—is it still enough? For me, for us—will the world be just as rough? In the stillness of night and bitterness still Sometimes I wonder if we stayed against our will
Freedom of choice, life tells us to use To leave, to stay, to fight—we should just choose But should we? Should we bother to save it When everything is already failing at every heartbeat? Pain, heartache, feelings hurt deep down When will you be able to erase that frown? The answer will be never—I know that now The pain never fades, but to dull it, I know how The way to deny hearts is something I must know Shall I continue the fight of cages you've begun to sow? We could have been free—we wished for it instead Sometimes I wonder if we have the right words we said
The future dies as hope flickers off I thank you, then, I whisper just as soft Memories made, memories lost in the gutter Of unfulfilled promises and things meant for the better We stay at the echoing pattern of our glorious past Why are we still here if our time has come to last? We could have left, we both know we want to What changed your mind so I know what to do? We have a choice, but I suppose, we missed the chance To revive love, to believe, to perfect our dance Darling, we all have lives left and short years Sometimes I wonder if our love is ever worth our tears
