I used to have faith in love
In a time when dreams came true
When the ocean breeze would bring me such comfort
I saw true love on the horizon, in the sky
I used to believe in true love
Back when life was a a fantasy world
When the saltwater smell filled my lungs with such hope
I felt love coming, on the wings of the seagulls that would fly by
That was long ago, just barely able to recall
A feeling that seems more a dream than a reality
The years have been cruel, as I've been taught well
The truth about true love and it's relation to hell
There is a numbness in my chest
I have been conditioned, disheartnened
Each new chance of hope, overshadowed by impending doom
Of a chance of true love that will never come true
My mind and my heart play tricks on me
The strongest of allies, on a quest to break this soul
"Feel that great feeling" - "It is not going to last"
"Maybe it will last" - "Better protect myself quick"
Cursed with an overactive imagination
With a mind that plays endless scenarios
Cursed with a heart that loves completely
Only to be broken again, yes even again
Unable to determine fiction or reality
In this realm of feelings, of love, of bullshit
Maybe it is going to work this time
No way, never forget the laws of the universe, of your universe
A curse, possibly self-inflicted, a road I chose
In another time, another place, another existence
If only I had known how hard this path would be
I'm sure I would have chosen another, can I change my mind now?
I want a chance, I want my heart to know real love
I don't care about the agreement, I am choosing the other path now
As long as I live, as I breathe, with every heartbeat, their is hope
The time has come to break the chains, to challenge fate, to control destiny.
To really live, is to follow the heart
To unleash the passion that has been retstrained for too long
To follow things that are true, that ignite a fire inside
This is what my mind is finally telling me to do
