Lost 05:12
Deeper than the ocean, as endless as the sea Changing colors like she'd change her mind Lost inside her wonder, and fighting through the fears There she is and then she says goodbye If I found my way, could I make you stay Find a wish for you, in me Found inside your memory But I lost my heart, inside your eyes And I lost my way, in the night If I lost my heart, and made you cry Take the heart I gave and say goodbye Lost inside the wishes, and lost inside the dreams All the sin has faded from the snow Eyes that match the sunlight, and are the moon above Losing you leaves nowhere else to go In a wish for me, there's a wish for you Colors dancing in my mind In the darkness of the sky In a wish for you, there's a wish for me Found inside your memory Then say goodbye...

Forgot who's been hurt the most, forgot what's been said Don't know how we started out, but now it has come to an end The teardrops have fallen down, they've come and they've gone I asked and you gave to me, and now I'm alone I surrender, I will never, live my life among the stars I remember, lying in your arms (But for now) I'm wishing you back to me I'm wishing you back to me All the times I cried, thought the world had died All that I can see...is wish you with me I'll turn back the hands of time, and make you believe Well baby to hold you now, I'd swim every sea Does it really matter now, you're one of a kind And now that I sing to you, will it really change your mind If I told you, let me hold you, would you open up your arms Let me hold you, until we reach the stars All your hopes, and all your dreams Are fading from your eyes Stay with me, please don't say goodbye I'm wishing you back I'm wishing you back

You promised me, the garden of Eden You promised me, a heart of gold Now that all the words have faded And the heart of gold is alone Watch the rain Watch the rain fall down on me Watch the rain, watch the rain On a distant hill there is sunlight And a rainbow cries in the trees There's a sadness that washes the moonlight But the heart of gold still believes Now that all the words have faded And the heart of gold is alone All the promises that are lost in the wind The dreams have come and gone Comfort me with the silence And carry me through the pain Cover me with the sadness And hold me one time again

Pictures of you in every corner My walls are painted black and white Is someone out there waiting for me So many pictures I can't find Falling from a perfect world tonight I can see a perfect world in sight In my mind So many changes taking over So many changes in my life The memory fading from your picture The memory fading from your eyes There is something I need you to know There is nowhere my heart wants to go All I know If the world had an end, I would follow you If I could grow wings, I would fly If the ocean had a reason, for crashing on the shore Then I would know why The image of you starts to haunt me It's taking over in my mind There's nowhere else to run away from There's nowhere else for me to hide
