There's no one left to blame, things are not the same,
The happiness you once brought, will never come again.
When you think it's over you start feeling the pain.
The pain of love lost and you can't turn around again.

I never wanted things to be this way, but I can't go on living like this.
I remember the days that used to be, when I told you I love you and gave you a kiss.
But I know I can't go back without having a panic attack.
There's someone special out there, and I have to let her know I care.

However I will always care about you, but I have to live my life without you.
Things are never gonna be the same, I'll return to the dust from which I came.
So I need a love, a friendly love, with color and prosperity which will last to eternity.
If I keep you in my life, how am I ever gonna be free?

I need love that is youthful and fruitful, our love now has grown dead and cold.
I've grown a little bit older, a little bit stronger, a little bit bolder, I know that my life is far from over.
The ground benetah my feet is as solid as my heart is because I know it is full of love.

I couldn't go back without feeling the pain, being friends just makes me hurt the same.
But I think about my life and I have to let it be.
Living without you is the only way to be free, all I ask in life is to be happy.

I've been happy now that I'm alone, learned a lot about me I have never known.
There is nothing in life that I regret or would take back. What will be will be.
Keeping the heart free is the only way to live. and waiting for the right one for your heart to give.

These days of disgrace leave me with a feeling of disgust.
The wars, the pain, material things, and lust.
The way people abuse love and turn it into rust.  
Leaving yourself to blame and no one to trust.

I know I've felt the pain and need to be set free, there's so much out there that's in store for me.
But to find the one in a million in the vast sea, maybe I found her!  We'll just wait and see
Waiting for something and something to believe in, keeps my head up and changes my living.
Sometimes you gotta just lean on the fence post for awhile, but when the wait's over, you'll have an eternal smile.
