I have seen it in my daughter's eyes.
I have felt it in my dads embrace.
I have kissed her perfect lips.

Tasted, touched, seen and smelt.
      
               But never held;
                     For long.
Sorrow invites wisdom. Its sad, but some won't listen.
Oh come on! Are we really doing this thing again?
I was brave and positive
Young and unafraid
Innocent, like they say
But these began to fade
When I asked myself "Was I deceived?"

Before that happened
You were the light to my darkness
The continuation to my end
The guide to my lost path of helplessness

It started little by little
Little by little, solving my riddle
The riddle if he's the one from the start
The riddle to open my heart

Just when I was ready to give
This heart that I held so dear
Protected to be wounded, but now I feel
My heart with a scar so deep

I thought you would be my proof
To prove that love is not aloof
To prove the thing that I refuse to believe, never
To prove that there is a "forever"

I ended up believing in something stupid
I ended up believing in everything you did
Believing, and all I could do is cry
Believing in that bittersweet lie
It's the air condition's fault
a counterfeit heart never lasts
the currency of it is fake
without the proper watermark
chances are it will of you forsake

who wants a guy
bearing this kind of trait
there is no value
in his heart's dollar rate

the forgery can be detected
over a period of time
that old note won't
cede one single dime

a gal needs surety
in the cash she's receiving
for if it's not genuine
love will be so unbelieving

a counterfeit heart
a counterfeit heart
gals can't endure
a counterfeit heart

It's like having your hands bound
While someone stabs your heart
Except you did the binding
People say it's brave
But it doesn't feel like it
Cowardly
is more like it
Peel back your skin
To see your broken bleeding
Throbbing
still beating heart
The embarrassment caused
is like ******* yourself
but
similar to that warmth you
experience
When you share yourself with
your love
it is more than worth it
In my dreams,
I see a girl in a white dress.

In the sunshine of the day I don't see her,
But I know she's here.

I feel her standing by my side,
Day and night.

I don't know her name, but
I never feel alone.

In my dreams,
I see a girl in a white dress.

She looks at me with a bright smile,
I do not understand her words when she speaks.

In my dreams I see a girl with Angel wings.

She takes my hand,

Now I understand,
God sent an Angel down,
From Heaven to protect me with her Angel wings.
