The greatest mystery left unsolved
No science no logic knows
As the great mystery now unfolds
The phantom known as love

The children know it but can't prove
No one on earth could lose
The greatest cure for all men's ills
The phantom known as love

It's in our hearts and in our souls
But can't be touched or moved
It's there for all eternity
The phantom known as love

It's often said its all we need
And though that we cannot prove
Without it we are shadow beings
The phantom known as love

It is the key to happiness
It is a gift from above
It's been here longer than you know
The phantom known as love

We're all actors just looking for the right costume
We're all puppets just looking for the right strings
We're all clowns just looking for the right masks
We're all rabbits just looking for the right holes
We're all people just trying to fit in

Mending broken teacups
Mending shattered glass
A little spot of glue for here
A little more to make it last
But can I ever fix what matters most
Is it possible to mend a broken heart
Probably impossible like mending broken promises
I wish there was a way of mending broken pasts
Like trying to keep a cloud together
Or making forms from dust
But there is a God out there who made impossible work
Once you believe in him impossibilities start
First he forgives you
Forgives all of your messed up past
Then he starts to work on us
And mends our broken hearts

I can't handle this kind of pain anymore
It's so repetitive like the waves kissing the seashore
It's so deep like the pearls lying on the sea's floor    
It's like a thousand years of this or more
Will rip open the wounds I had before
I can't close my eyes without seeing the expression you wore
And when I see it I can feel your hands as they tore
My heart aches but this pain is worse than any I ever bore
I can't handle this kind of pain anymore

What I was never brave to say
I never meant to hurt you
I know the pain you felt that day
I wish I could turn back time
But the cogs of the clock don't work that way
I wish I could undo all the wrong
But I hear you have a different tune to play
I never meant those dreadful lies
But I thought I would hurt you anyway
So I'd better do it now so you'd know
That I hurt those close to me afraid that they won't stay
Everyone abandons me unless I hurt them first
But I realise I only hurt more that way
So can you ever forgive me?
I hope it isn't too late to say
I'm sorry for the lies I told that day

She calls to me while I'm sleeping
She cries to me for help
And yet for the many souls in her keeping
Who was there to help?
I look on her with wary eyes
Her form of curving blue
Her hair like billowing clouds of sky
And wish that if only I knew
What dark and dreadful deeds she Keeps hidden in her depths
And wonder where her heart could be
And how she justifies so many deaths
And yet it is her song of sorrows that lulls my mind to sleep
And so I leave in her care all my secrets to keep
And now and then I hear in her waves The softest sounds of happiness
And wonder if the children gave
Their laughter to her sadness

My life before my eyes saw you
Was dark and empty and like a dying coal
My heart was hard and burdened with rue
My blood was cold from my dying soul
I had my things and friends 'tis true
But the happiness from stuff grows old
From whence happiness came I never knew
The only thing I felt was the creeping cold
Joy seemed to me as like a bird, in it came and out it flew
"Things always get better" I was told
But it seemed that to happiness was an everlasting queue
Some said to take a risk and risk being bold
Was all it took, as well as risking my life too
But I cringed and tried to hide in gold
Surely happiness From wealth was due?
Then I felt myself squeezed into a mould
And that was when my eyes saw you.
