verse 1:

I don't know where it all began...
perhaps just in a feeling.
you told me you liked me,
and i walked into your arms
you embraced who i was,
and i opened up to you.
i let you through some barriers,
that closely guarded my heart
and looked to you with tears in my eyes
as you said, we had to be ripped apart.

Chorus:

hug me
hold me
wrap your arms around me,
im crying bitter tears
as my heart breaks over you.
as I walk in this shadow of myself,
trying to mend the holes that you've made,
i look around for signs of future
but I cant see ahead,
for the pain that blocks my path.

verse 2:

how do you control the emotion,
that burns you from within,
how do u supress feelings that
you dont want to box or hide?
how do you go each day,
knowing that the one you love,
is happier leaving you behind?

Chorus:

hug me
hold me
wrap your arms around me,
im crying bitter tears
as my heart breaks over you.
as I walk in this shadow of myself,
trying to mend the holes that you've made,
i look around for signs of future
but I cant see ahead,
for the pain that blocks my path.

verse 3:

why cant you understand how i see you,
when i look into your eyes,
why cant you know how my heart feels
when you walk beside me?
why cant you see how i feel,
when your hand reaches out to hold me,
and my skin trembles at your touch...
you dont know how you feel,
yet you dont want me to leave.

Chorus:

hug me
hold me
wrap your arms around me,
im crying bitter tears
as my heart breaks over you.
as I walk in this shadow of myself,
trying to mend the holes that you've made,
i look around for signs of future
but I cant see ahead,
for the pain that blocks my path.

Verse 4:

watch and listen,
because times falls away...
it slips between your fingers,
and is lost forever,
and before you know it,
i will have walked out of your life...
holding my heart in my hands,
feeling the depth of what i feel for you.
hoping that maybe one day you'll look back, and understand.

looking around,
i try to salavage whats left of my heart.
fragments, shards, droplets.. of a life once lived,
scatter the floor.

I know not where to turn now,
the pieces of yesterday lie around mirroring
a love once held....
feelings once felt...
times once had...

how do you gather the pieces of your life,
together to form another way?
how do you pull yourself away from a deep pain,
that only seems to echo from within?
the blood, the sweat, the tears,
jarring at you vividly..

how do you turn to the one you love,
knowing she no longer loves you,
and not feel the pain?
you cant.

and as you hear the music,
to which your steps
once danced together,
you know the dance of life goes on....
