Lyrics

*Save me, I?m a refugee from apathy
And I?m hanging on the last thread
Of a dream that?s all but dead, oh
You see, sometimes I can?t recall
What love feels like at all
Until I look into those crystal blues
And I?m hoping that?s it?s you,
Come for my rescue, Hoping that it?s you,
Come for my rescue.

I used to believe (And I know I was naïve),
That some ideals never die
That hearts may change But love won?t lie.
Then someone did their best
To blow my world apart
Put my heart To the test
And I began to think all love was in jest.
How long before a heart can recover
From the pain remains left by an old lover?
How long before the bitterness Is worn into indifference?
And I?m so afraid of memories?To save or set them free?
and either way they?re gone from me, I
?ve lost touch with intensity And I?m rotting in this privacy?*

I used to believe (And maybe it?s just me),
That though passion may die, Compassion stays by,
Then someone let me know
How easily he could let go
And my heart stood still
As I watched him in the kill.
How long before I can trust again?
How long before I?ve gone so numb
I can?t recognize a friend when I see one?
And I think I see one?When I look across the room
And run into your eyes?
And I know we?ve barely spoken,
Yet my heart?s already broken.
Because I?m hopelessly hoping,
That you might feel the way I do?I
f I could just get through to you?*
