I wanted to give you all I had
that was inside of my heart
something you never felt before

I wanted you to look and see
what you could always find in me
that no other could ever give

I wanted to take away
everything in your life that was bad
all that made you once sad
just so I could watch you smile again

I wanted you to live
after all of what you've been through
and could only feel your soul die

I wanted you to be
a wild flower wild and free
blowing in a meadow in the wind
like a song's sweet melody
for you I forever wanted to sing
what each new tomorrow would bring

And on an Angel's wing
I wanted you to fly
across an Ocean's deep blue high up in Heaven's sky
and show you a special kind of love
that what dreams were made of

I wanted you always here with me
where nothing else would do
and nothing could tear us apart

I wanted you forever through time
where there was never no end
no tears for you to cry
or no final goodbye
and the sun would always shine
even down on a cloudy day

I  wanted you so much more
than my words could ever say
but my love wasn't enough to make you stay
when your pain only showed the way

If you knew the pain inside
what I felt and what I hide
you would see a different man
if you knew the tears I cried
how sorrow hid behind my eyes
you would see me in a different view
if you knew the struggles I go through
how each day was only a test of time
you would see why I give hope to shine
if you knew you would see
the path that was chosen for me
to show you a faith to hold
through the stories that I told
if you knew the love I tried
how promises only turned to lies
then you would see a heart that died
if you knew you would see
what Creator wanted me to be
so He layed this journey out for me
that was part of His plan
to give the strength in me
to do what is that I can
to show to you to look and see
at this life a little differently

In my life are reflections
of things to come
of what is to be
and what has beckoned me
to the edge of my dream
a final last scene
that soon will become
what I will no longer find

I feel the emotions
as the heart turns cold
looking through a mirror
at faces I can't see
now that are only illusions
that won't come much clearer
as it draws me closer and nearer
to the reality of my mind
that I can no longer hold

I hear the echoes
the screams of my cries
as the soul in me dies
as the light inside hides
through darkness of my shadows
a sadness of pain and misery
that leaves the happiness behind
of all that I use to know
such a long time ago
where all what I would feel
now don't seem real

Behind her tortured eyes
she runs and she hides
trying to **** the pain
where alone she cries
longing for what was no more

In the night as she rides
through the falling rain
filled with the screams
and sad broken lullabies
caught in her dreams
of all what is left to remain

Behind her tortured eyes
her heart alone dies
trapped inside a place
that she can never replace
between reality and paradise
where Heaven burns the skies

In a world where alone she tries
to save herself from a falling grace
with her tears she tries to refrain
looking through a soul of shame
where an Angel now holds the blame

Behind her tortured eyes
with nothing to lose anymore
and nothing left here to gain
trying to find herself again
in what she once had before
that only promised her lies

Behind her tortured eyes
she waits for love to open another door
to what she has been searching for
where emotions of love and hate collides
