My heart skips a beat at what I've won and what I've lost
A part of me's missing, but I guess that's the cost
Of living a dream and knowing true peace
Of bowing surrender as though surrender's release

My breath is now laggered, though it's out and it's in
I still go on moving as I know I begin
The living a half life with strange haunted eyes
Still I reach for a dream that I know is denied

I can still feel his arms for they hold me each night
but I can't pretend all is set right
For I know he's not mine...he will never be
and though I sever my soul - I must set him free

I can't fold on to those soft summer breezes
Nor pretend I can stop my heart as it freezes
For there's a girl in the mirror with strange haunted eyes
and each day that I see her a little more of her's died

I had thought that I could learn to grow and be more
Than I'd ever imagined that I could be before
But now I see clearly, it's painful but true
Nothing I could ever do would be good enough for you
