Turn the clocks back...
Turn back the hands of the time...
Rewind my life...

How we use to be so happy
So much in like... So much in love...
Now we've become barely strangers

You use to know just what to say to make me laugh
Now all I know is silence

Crazy how we could be each other's everything one day and then the next we mean nothing to each other

Constantly fighting the memory of you...
Wishing you would hold me...
The feeling of your breath on the back of my neck as we entwine and melt into each other

You were my safe haven...
In those arms there was no place I'd rather be

But now all I have are memories...
Memories of when time stood still and it was only you and I

For a moment the world stopped because that was all we needed...

Now I don't even know this stranger who stands infront of me
I believed in you... You didn't believe in me

You sweetened and unsweetened me with your lies

Spilled your dreams unto my heart

Painted a pretty picture that only I could see or at least I thought...

There is a fire with in me and it speaks to my soul...

Every time you open your mouth it's flames burn higher

Blazing a trail so deep with in me I feel like I'm loosing myself...

Maybe I will let it burn so I can rise from the ashes

Or maybe I will let it burn until it consumes me so I can be reborn

I rise like a Phoenix from the ashes

So when you open your mouth to butter me up with those sweet... sweet lies...

It turns to ash...

I am not convinced nor do I long to believe in the sweet nectar that falls from your beautiful lips

Do you see her?
She stands there almost invisible
Standing there in a world full of questions
She fights every day to stay afloat in a sea of thoughts
Her heart beats strong but sometimes faint.

Do you hear her?
She sometimes screams silently hoping to get maybe just one person's attention
She moves so sweetly and so vividly
It's almost like she is dancing or maybe she is floating
Everywhere she turns she hits a wall
She is strong willed.

Do you feel what she feels?
Can you feel her tears as it runs down her face
Can you feel her pain
The pain she tries so hard to conceal
She fights off her demons one day at a time with a smile imprinted on her beautiful face.

Do you understand her?
She is only one woman
Taking things one day at a time
She comes into her own
She understands that she is strong and can handle it all
But sometimes it is nice to have someone to help with the heaviness.

Love...
What is the true meaning?
Do you really know?

The way she looks at you
Yearns to feel your touch but you pull away each time she gets closer...

She desires you... craves you... needs you...

But all you need is yourself.
