Song Lyrics

There was a time I could freely breathe the air
No matter where I went, you would always be there
Carry me when I felt so tired I would almost fall
Did we speak and did I hear your name?
Feel no shame
Feel no pain

Wordless my poem, like a footprint in the snow
Telling you more than you'd even care to know
Passion came, I could not defend myself from you
Did we dance and did we think the same
Dream of fame
Feel no pain

Finally losing the fight we'd hoped to win
Climbing too high, then the air got poor and thin
Too late to turn back and too far run for cover, tell
Me
Did we touch and did we play the game
Take the blame
Feel no pain

Now should we take it as it is
What lesson did we learn from this
Though many dreams are lies untold
I see a world as pure as gold
Out there

I still believe it can be done
To dance the rite of perfect song
I tell myself this is a lie
'Cause masked dancers never cry
Nor care

I can't believe the things you've said
What happened to the dreams we've had
It must be some conspiracy
Of love and hate and jealousy
I don't know

Your silken face still painted white
A frozen mask, your hands are tied
Cold winds blow

The words will never come out right
A frozen heart, still deep inside
Love's aglow
