I didn't have much
but I gave you all my secrets
somehow, I just knew
I could trust you to keep them

it's been a year, or maybe more
since I put faith in you
and when you're here with me,
I feel,
there's nothing I can't do

but sometimes you're so far away
and I feel so alone
the only way I hear your voice
is coming through the phone

though each day tears me up inside
it's not the hell it seems
you're with me when I drift away
you're always in my dreams

and there lies my serenity
no worries to be found
no fears, no anxiety
with no one else around

the forests welcome visitors
instead of trying to hide
and no one's ever known betrayal
there's no such word as "lie"

and though we're not the only ones
it's only you and I
and we still have just what we need
to make it paradise

and no matter what happens here
we'll always be together
my only regret is that
I can't stay there forever

though each day tears my soul apart
it's not the hell it seems
there's you, and fields of lavender
there waiting in my dreams
For...well...I'm sure they'll know when they read this
