It seems in love we’ve all been there and carry wounds too hard to bear and think, perhaps, that we’ve moved on; but memories prove that we were wrong… You can’t control the things you dream, where wishes take their hold, it seems; the things your waking mind denies are shown to you in black and white.

And in that less than sixty seconds a lifetime lived with no regrets;
A noise that startles you to dawn; how fleeting is the joy, now gone…

Although the sun shines brilliantly it cannot hide the truth, you see. The life you say you plan to change has somehow still remained the same. How long the days away from home that know the night you’ll spend alone. Just close your eyes and think of me; such happiness we find in dreams.

And in that less than sixty seconds a lifetime lived with no regrets;
A noise that startles you to dawn; how fleeting is the joy, now gone…
Though you may try to sleep again, the daylight steals your dreams, my friend.And wakes you to this harshest truth:

When nighttime comes and you can’t sleep; you close your eyes and pray to dream of things your heart still longs to find and happiness that you’re denied….

It seems in love we’ve all been there….
