One Night

It took love but one moment
To break my beating heart
On second thought, you take the blame
You tore it all apart

One minute we were happy
Years now I've been sad
Convinced that love is not a friend
Believing I was mad

All found to be beautiful
Through love's enraptured view
Seemed to somehow melt away
In angry thoughts of you

It never really disappeared
I just refused to see
The beauty in the loneliness
That's shrouding the real me

The wall I built to keep love out
Has fallen on this night
My soul is naked, here I stand
Reborn in loves pale light
