If there was a willing way out
by all means i seek it
i dig deep into it
hoping to find what was scattered behind
in ashes we rise
in tears we fall
i stood- standing through it all
i will not shed a tear-no not one at all
inside my mind my skin crawls
you seek to manipulate my integrity
and to leave me feeling what
more empty
left sore where love doesn't live anymore
help me help you
by all means
what ever i may take
i have that and so much more to give
you insist it's not meant to be
well then, by all means
i will turn and head for the door
you refuse love to live here
i cant take it anymore
my tears have stained the floor
and my mind has been explored
theses precious moments will forever be adored
but, by all means, please
tell me - what it is you see
