give me one last chance to find myself
maybe I could find you, too
put my heart up on the highest shelf
you ask me what you're to do
the fire burns inside me still
it consumes me every day
you've always had a hard-edged will
yet you can't find the words to say
tell me the words I don't want to hear
I promise they're what I need
I told you I'd still be waiting here
but my mind's not a book for you to read
as I walk along this narrow road
voices always tell me to hide
I know things you can never know
how you believed me when I lied
but I want to put that all behind us
I want to be forever by your side
I want this day to forever remind us
a requiem for a love that never died
