A Lover's Lament

Ive been trying to find the reason why
You ran away and said goodbye
And you left the only life youve ever known
Now I dont know if I can make it
But I tell you I cant fake it
One more day
Cause Im tired of my heart aching
And Im tired of my heart breaking
Im tired of living in between

And if reality and my hope never find a way to collide
If I missed my only chance
If this is what you want to do if you are sure to see this through
Then I guess that Ill begin again without you

Ill take a chance, take a risk
Let some love into my midst
Step into the light and trust that I
Am going to be all right, tonight

Well, I hope you find what youre looking for
Become content and dont want more
But now Im pretty sure I never knew you
You compromise and justify, youve traded truth for a lie
And know that I dont want to change your mind

And what do you hope to find now that youre on your way and on your own
Tell me who you want to be
If this is what you want to do, if you are sure to see this through
Then I guess that Ill conclude

I never knew you, you never let me in
You never knew me, but its time to begin

To take a chance, take a risk
Let some love into my midst
Step into the light and trust that I
Am going to be all right, tonight

If only you could look and see what lies deep inside of me
Has rushed up to the top, become reality
How could I have ever known
That another page, another song
Was to be wrote, was to be played
So I will take a chance and let myself
Be hurt and known and touched and loved, and all the above

Ill take a chance, take a risk
Let some love into my midst
Step into the light and trust that I
Am going to be all right, tonight
Ill take a chance, oh, Ill take a chance, tonight
