Did I ever tell you
what I really want?
Did you ever tell me
what you want of me?

Did I ever tell you
that the sky was blue?
And did you believe me?
What I say is true,

How many times
must I have cried?
Now the tears are gone
and all that's left is me,

Did you ever feel
that you weren't alone?
And can you forgive me?
Words I say, I lose,

Did I ever show you
something more to see?
And can you perceive me?
Life is meant to be,

How many times
must you have cried,
When the tears are gone
will you still be blind?

How many times
must I be denied?
Life is just a play,
Love is hypnotized,

How was I to know
that we all have ghosts
who were sent to save us
as our conscience folds?

How many lies
must this story tell?
To believe or leave it?
Wishes in the well,

Anyone can see
that we've gone astray,
Till we find our footsteps,
Blaming God in pray,

How many times
must He have cried
for His failed creation?
Tears of blood in eyes,

How many times
must we lie to ourselves?
Feeling all that we can
In a heart we can't fill

How many times
must we lie in our eyes
As we cry into her's?
Broken bones form our world,

How many times
see that look in the eyes
of a child in pain,
of a smile denied?

How many times
must we look to ourselves
until we realize
that we're nothing but air?

A
heart
we
can't
fill....
