Lyrics
I've dreamed a dream but things don't work out that way.
The sting brings life to hands, the muse sings in me.
A crack in the ice, I fall down to another life with you since you caught my eye.
We'll break down our walls.
In a cave of stone we'll crawl.
Where forgiveness and passion, love and hate.
We'll pray on our blank slate.
I've placed all hope deep down in a hole.
I don't think you ask too much.
It's hard to see eye to eye.
Love takes time to grow strong each day we drift away.
What went so wrong?
Come save my life.
I know your there I've seen it before with my own eyes.
