lyrics

Walking alone,
Wondering if to take another chance.
Stripped to the bone,
Afraid to start a new romance.
Afraid to make waves,
Secure … the barriers up high.
When feelings are saved,
Sometimes it’s so hard to try.

Too many people giving advice.
Deny the truth, pay the price.

“Too soon”, you say.
Not the way that we had it planned.
Live day to day.
Try to understand.
We’re on the same plane.
Two injured birds trying to fly.
Come to my side.
Together we’ll reach for the sky.

Too many people giving advice.
Deny the truth, pay the price.

It’s a shame.

Shadows of time
Don’t cool the burning my mind
Of loves that have hurt.
Sometimes life isn’t kind.
When feelings aren’t true,
Maybe we should leave them in the past.
Don’t you feel blue.
Find a way to make our love last.

Too many people giving advice.
Deny the truth, pay the price.

Too many people giving advice.
Deny the truth, pay the price.

It’s a shame.
