Sometimes I want to run away,
Just leave all this behind,
To escape to another world,
That no one else can find.

And yet deep down I see the light,
Just what I know is true,
To swear beyond all realm of doubt,
That I belong with you.

Sometimes I want more than I should,
Just one more chance to live,
To taste of that forbidden fruit,
If life could but forgive.

And yet I need no more than this,
Just for all that we share,
To stay right here where I belong,
With those who really care.

Sometimes I want to end it all,
Just close that final door,
To stop the endless march of time,
And sleep forever more.

And yet I know that all is now,
Just as was meant to be,
To stand by all the vows we spoke,
That still hold true to me.

Sometimes I want to scream out loud,
Just let it all flow free,
To release all the hurt within,
So all the world can see.

And yet I know you share my pain,
Just one more sign of love,
To be as one eternally,
Just like the stars above.
