Dreams That Flew

How do you stop the burning pain
From the sting of unanswered love
Or from lost love, never meant to be
How do you numb yourself to feeling
How do I ignore the cries inside me

Have we not all loved and lost once
And why for some does the pain subside
And their hearts recover like new
When others resign to feel despair
Helplessly holding dreams that flew

They lie and say that they’re okay
So they can get out of bed each day
But in sorrow they forever long
For their love to return to them
But they suffer in solitude, alone

At night in my desperate lonely hours
Empty arms reach into the air
I kiss the vision before my eyes
Alive in dreams I left behind
Searching always 'til my heart dies

Sunday morning...

why does it hurt so much to know
that you can't see what you've done
do you remember how we loved
or am i the only one

i wish that just one day i would wake
and not have to first remember
that day you said you don't love me
and how cold i feel this September

you said you would always love me
but was it only because she hurt you
what else were you supposed to do
but move on to someone new

that was then and time has passed
and your pain has been erased
but mine is growing day by day
love's hurt is my bitter taste

you never forget the one you love
she was always there in your heart
so she returned to claim her love
for true love won't let you part

with all my heart i trusted you
I believed that love conquers all
sometimes we just can't win at love
so we forfeit and take the fall

but I'll love you, as you love her
there is nothing left to say
except i'll remember the good
and not regret a single day

ahead of me i know hope lies
should true love find me, i wait
with open arms i'll welcome it
come find me before it's too late
