I’ve needed you so long but I never really knew…
and all these nightmares have seem to come true….
I was oblivious to the rest of the world while in your eyes
and it somehow blinded me to the evil world’s disguise.
The lies I told myself as I confessed my undying love to you
How this lie that seemed to haunt me and come true…
This dream of you and I, broken apart
This night alone with a broken heart…

I told myself we’d last forever and that things were meant to be
I told myself anything that fitted into my own self made fantasy…
I lied to myself on a daily occasion when it came to our time, being together
I lied to myself when I said we’d stick by each other through the worst of the weather

It didn’t take a storm, It didn’t take an earthquake
It didn’t take anything at all to move or shake...
It took honesty…It took second sight
It took a moment of clarity that one, August night.

It took the dream of you, and turned it into a nightmare
It took the light to blind me though all of the glare.
It took you to disappear into the night
It took you… to help me regain my sight.

Taken now, forever lost
into the bin of memories, our time together has been tossed..
Taken now, taken from me
my own little lovers dream of a lifelong fantasy.

Drifting apart, slowly and sure
looking for someone else to be as pure
Slipping away on words unsaid and spoken
about our love and the vows about to be broken.

Ripping the dreams apart at their seams
with the sides and their teams under these moonlight beams
This hour alone deep inside my heart.
This is the end of a beginning but the dawn of a new start.
