And so it was we came to be
In a manner so unusually
Drawn together through the game
Hearts together in a frame

And so it was we came to know
The seeds of love beginning to grow
Thriving through an unyielding screen
A storybook love seldom seen

And so it was we came to share
Emotional, physical, and mental fare
Spent years, months, and endless hours
Secret room painted sunflowers

And so it was we came to feel
Thorns of reality ever so real
Words and intent began to misfire
Emotions hazy through the mire

And so it was we came to fear
Self protective behavior became clear
The walls had now begun to grow
Attempting to strangle our love's flow

And so it was we tried to heal
The guise of friendship, and deny what was real
Repressed expression and filtered voice
Pretending to be content and rejoice

And so it brings us to today
A celebration of love's brutal ways
A vow to love and then to part
Your name imprinted on my heart

And so it was we said goodbye
Not holding back the tears we cry
A promise kept to fade away
A lie to you I will convey

Lost; blinded by the sands of time
Holding on to a dream that has died
I look to you with the eyes of a child
There’s a storm raging deep inside
I feel the wind whispering into my eyes
Holding back all the tears I could cry
Looking back to the past
I know I have another chance

Try to start once again
New Life; To reach for the sky
I’m learning to fly; not just getting by this time
New Life

I’ve climbed the mountains of hope
Trying hard; Not to stumble but cope
At the top; looking out on the earth
Standing high; It’s the day of my birth
Life in this world can be bitter and dry
You must strive to keep passion alive
Don’t live life in a trance
You must take another chance

Try to start once again
New Life; To reach for the sky
I’m learning to fly; not just getting by this time
New Life

I song my songs to no one
While not completely true
The public hears me sing my songs
Unaware I sing for you

As I sing about the Queen and love
Now I risk the fear
Of getting through the lyrics
While holding back a tear

The songs I wrote have meaning
No one can really see
A metaphoric yet real ocean
Unable to keep you away from me

While nature's cruel barrier
Wasn't able to keep us apart
A different way of moving forward
Is what shredded up my heart

We've expressed our love through lyrics
A passion we've both shared
Now I  stop myself from sending songs
To show how much I care

You became for me my muse
Gave me creative spark
Providing passion all around
A contrast that was stark

While sharing lots of laughter
As well as many tears
A monumental experience
That's spanned throughout the years

What I thought an unending connection
We watched our children grow
We came to know what was unknown
With so little left to show

I sing my songs for no one
While my heart will have to mend
I'll continue on to sing my songs
While learning to pretend

I can see the times are changing
I can see it in your eyes
It's going to be a bumpy ride
I can feel the world is turning
I can feel it through our styles

Together we can fly
Side by side

I can see the clouds are breaking
I can see it in your smile
We're going to go that mile
I can feel the sun is shining
I can feel it in our lives

Together we can fly
Side by side

A mountain can stand alone
But a heart isn't made of stone
Come with me we'll try

Together we can fly
Side by side

Together we can fly
Side by side

For so long you've been searching
For someone to treat you right
You've been getting cheated out of life
Now my arms are around you
I'll protect you from your fright
I'll keep you safe beside me
I am your light

You've got me
With me you'll be free

You were used and abused
Every couple of nights
I wish I could have helped you through those times
But now I'll always be with you
To hold you when you need to cry
I'll make you strong and I'll stand right by your side

You've got me
I'll make you happy

I'm the one you can count on
I know you'll always love me
You can always put your trust in me

We'll start a new life together
Throw away all our mistakes
We'll give it all the energy it takes
We'll make our lives like a novel
Turn it to the back page
We'll be holding hands in our old age

You've got me
I'll love you endlessly

You've got me
I'll love you endlessly

Girl you come to see me when I'm rocking your town
You'd do anything to keep hanging around
Oh baby, you can't see what I know
Oh darling you just want to be part of my show

Every time I see you girl you're looking fine
You'd do anything just to say you were mine
Oh darling, keep me in your dreams
In the real world everything isn't always as it seems

I'm in the spotlight
You're watching every night
I'm in the spotlight
You're looking for love

Loving isn't easy unless it comes from the start
I don't want to have to leave you with a broken heart
Oh baby, it must be this way
Before you get me started you must know that I cannot stay

I'm in the spotlight
You're watching every night
I'm in the spotlight
You're looking for love

I'm in the spotlight
You're watching every night
I'm in the spotlight
You're looking for love

Everyday when the clock strikes eight
You make your way to the street
Meeting face to face with fate
Taking all of the heat
Living life by the roll of the dice is going to do you in
Playing the game of beat the clock you can't win

Life on the run
Living fast; Living under the gun
Life on the run
Running out of time

Every night while you make your way
They try to shoot you down
Life's quite a price to pay
To be the king of your town
Flying under the wings of your friends won't always get you by
Just how long do you think you'll be missed when you die

Life on the run
Living fast; Living under the gun
Life on the run
Running out of time

Walking on the edge of life
Won't always bring you fame
Playing truth or dare with fate
It's a deadly game
Don't play it

Life on the run
Living fast; Living under the gun
Life on the run
Running out of time
