The Lesson of Love

This girl is lost, she's all alone

She doesn't have anyone to call her own.

She's stuck in this desert place

She knows it's hot, but she only feels cold upon her face

She's choking on air that isn't there

She wonders why nobody ever cares

She reaches high up into the sky

Wishing that she could leave the misery, wanting to die

Then along came a boy who was lost on his way

The girl lit up hoping that he would save her day

He came running into her life, but she felt so cold

She wanted to get close but she didn't know how to be bold

You took me in, you cared for me

You made my blind eyes finally see

You taught me how to love, that's what you did

You gave meaning to the life of this lost little kid

You kept me warm, you kept me dry

You wiped away every single tear I cried

You gave life to this cold dead body, you made things feel so right

Because of you, now I finally see the light.

Now this little girl is happy, you can see the twinkle in her eye

Everything feels so right now, 'cause she can't see behind that lie

One day you told the girl that you had to go, you had to be on your way

With tear filled eyes, she looked at you one last time as you walked away

Watching you until you were nothing more that a speck in the distance, she already missed your warm touch

She didn't understand how you could leave her after you told her that you loved her so much

Now look at me, I'm so torn apart inside

I never would have that you would have lied

I look over the horizon, and who is it that I see

It's you, and you're standing there staring back at me

My eyes tear up, I want to die, I feel that cold that I had once felt again

I see right through you, and I know that things will never be the same as the had once been

A year has passed, and a year goes by, and you have been out of my life for so long

And time and time again I sit, hoping you will come back to me as I sing you this song.
