the balance
I cried again last night, I felt so alone
my damaged spirit recalling memories past
thoughts of my parents, long since dead
of my little girl, who has grown up so fast
all the mistakes that I've made, continue to make
friends that I have as well as those I have lost
I can see smiling faces and hear their laughter
but my best friend eludes me, I can't pay the cost
should one give their heart in exchange for their soul?
is the price too dangerous, too dear?
to receive pleasures far beyond this world
this is what haunts me, driving my fear
each new day brings me more questions
and each night I shed yet more tears
I seem only to be digging deeper
as I fall further away with the years
can a woman's love become shattered?
that she could never forgive an old friend
has the foundation below become rotted?
that the cold and the anger can't end
is the saving of face all important?
compared to the joy that awaits
can we open our hearts, draw ourselves in?
is it over, are we too late?
I still want you, do you still want me?
show me the way if you should agree
time passes quickly, our lives may end
my dream, forever, as your best friend
