Once

Are you really here
or am I dreaming
I can’t tell dreams from truth
For it’s been so long
since I have seen you
I can hardly remember your face anymore
When I get really lonely
and the distance calls its only silence
I think of you smiling
with pride in your eyes a lover that sighs

Are you really sure
that you believe me
When others say I lie
I wonder if you could
ever despise me
When you know I really try
To be a better one
to satisfy you
for you're everything to me
And I do
what you ask me
If you let me be free



Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black

And I really tried to be a better one
