Had
There are haystacks without needles
Take the pain, and lose your pride
There are rainbows that don't end with gold
Beauty led, but beauty lied

There are hills that just aren't worth the climb
In the pits, though you're at the top
There are stories better off untold
You beg, but they don't stop

There are final shots that just don't fall
Fight to the end, with no avail
There are souls that don’t move on to heaven
Broken spirits in personal hells.

There are problems with no solutions
Try every way, no answer's found
There are innocents 'proven' guilty
Kept locked up, put in the ground

There are faces even moms don't love
A true self hides from the light
There are wounds that even dads can't heal
Defenses down, an unfair fight.

There are seas with not so many fish
If you're a 'catch' you'll be thrown back
There are smiles that never knew of joy
Fake it well, keep up the act

There are sunsets that are clouded over
Rays fight, but can't get through
There are frogs who can't transform
Kisses fail, even from you.

There are some things too good to be true
It's no figure of speech
There are those who don't mean what they say
Cannot practice what they preach

There are friends who aren't there at your worst
In words unsaid, there lies the proof
There are soul mates that are lacking soul
They're all illusions of the truth

There are promises which cannot be kept
Like that I'd always have your heart
So I guess there's not much difference
In falling in love and falling apart
