Esteja alerta para a regra dos tres
o que você dá, retornará para você
Essa lição você tem que aprender
Você só ganha o que você merece

Tempted in our minds
Tormented inside lie
Wounded and afraid
Inside my head
Falling through changes

Did you know when you lost?
Did you know when I wanted?
Did you know what I lost?
Do you know what I wanted?

Empty in our hearts
Crying out in silence
Wandered out of reach
Too far to speak
Drifting unable

Did you know when you lost?
Did you know when I wanted?
Did you know what I lost?
Do you know what I wanted?

. . .


No one said,
We'd ever know each other.
A new evidence, is what we require,
In this world.

I stand on the edge of a broken sky,
And I'm looking down, don't know why.

And if I should fall, would you hold me?
Would you pass me by?
Ooh, you know I'd ask you for nothing,
Just to wait for a while.

So confused,
My thoughts are taken over.
Unwanted horizons face me instead,
Won't let go.

I stand on the edge of a broken sky,
And I'm looking down, don't know why.

And if I should fall, would you hold me?
Would you pass me by?
Ooh, you know I'd ask you for nothing,
Just to wait for a while.

. . .


I'd like to laugh at what you said
but I just can't find a smile
I wonder why you can't
I struggle with myself
hoping I might change a little
hoping that I might be someone I wanna be

looking out I want to know someone might care
looking out I want a reason to be there
cause I don't know what I've done to deserve you
and I don't know what I'll do without you

looking out I want to know some way might clear
looking out I want a reason to repair
cause I don't know what I've done to deserve you
and I don't know what I'll do without you

I can't see nothing good
and nothing is so bad
I never had a chance
to explain exactly what I meant

. . .


As she walks in the room,
Centred and tall,
Hesitating once more.
And as I take on myself,
And the bitterness I felt,
Realise that love lost well.

CHORUS
White horses,
They will take me away,
And my tenderness I feel,
Will send the dark underneath,
Will I follow?

Through the glory of life,
I will scatter on the floor,
Dissappointed and sore.
And in my thoughts I have bled,
For the riddles I've been fed,
Another line is over-oh.

CHORUS x 2

. . .


I wonder why
I don't know what you see
Of course I care
I won't pretend

It's just a thought
I've said enough
Don't you know life turns me
Always wants me
I can hardly pray

I could try
But don't know what you hear
'Cause in my heart
You were so clear

It's just a thought
I've said enough
Don't you know life turns me
Always wants me
I can hardly pray

One you'll stage
To show that you create
And by yourself
I am nowhere

You never noticed
You were so sure
Don't you know life turns me
Always wants me
I can hardly pray

. . .


The taste of life I can't describe
It's chocking on my mind
Reaching out I can't believe
Faith it can't decide

On and on I carry on
But underneath my mind
And on and on I tell my self
It's this I can't disguise

Oh can't you see
Holding on to my heart
I bleed the taste of life

The pace, the time, I can't survive
It's grinding down the view
Breaking out which way to choose
A choice I can't renew

Holding on I carry on
But underneath my mind
And on and on I tell my self
It's this I can't disguise

Oh can't you see
Holding on to my heart
I bleed, no place is safe
Can't you see the taste of life

. . .


I'm drifting in deep water
Alone with my self doubting again
I try to not to struggle this time
For I will weather the storm
Gotta remember
Don't fight it
Even if I
Don't like it
Somehow turn me around
No matter how far I drift
Deep waters won't scare me tonight

. . .


I saw a saviour, a saviour come my way
I thought I'd see it in the cold light of day
But now I realize that I'm only for me

If only I could see you return myself to me
And recognize the poison in my heart
There is no other place, no one else I face
The remedy will agree with how I feel

Here are my front teeth, what more can I say?
For I am guilty for the voice that I obey
Too scared to sacrifice the choice chosen for me

If only I could see you return myself to me
And recognize the poison in my heart
There is no other place, no one else I face
The remedy to agree with how I feel

. . .


If I remember the night that we met
Tasted a wine that I'll never forget
Opened the doorway and saw through the light
Motions of movement and I felt delight

She spoke of freedom, "A way in," she said
"A wisdom that took me away from the bed"
Spoke of the glory that we had become
I felt forgiven in all I've become

Small, tasteless, and forgot
Hoping to see, blinded like me
You tried to understand, but you're just a man
Open to scorn just like me

Failure again
Tried to pretend
Who you were then
Who you are now

Hating the lord
Hating the lord
Hating the lord
Hating the lord

Small, tasteless, and forgot
Hoping to see, blinded like me
You tried to understand, but you're just a man
Open to scorn just like me

Failure again
Tried to pretend
Who you were then
Who you are now

Hating the lord
Hating the lord
Hating the lord
Hating the lord

. . .


I can't deny what I've become
I'm just emotionally undone
I can't deny, I can't be someone else

when I have tried to find the words
To describe this sense absurd
Try to resist my thoughts
But I can't lie

I've been losing myself
My desire I can't have
No reason am I for

I can't divide or hide from me
I don't know who I'm meant to be
I guess it's just the person that I am

Often I've dreamt that I don't wait
Enjoy the gift of my mistake
Like then again I'm wrong and I confess

I've been losing my self
My desire I can't have
No reason am I for

. . .


Better if I could find the words to say
Whenever I take a choice it turns away

I'm worn, tired of my mind
I'm worn out, thinking of why
I'm always so unsure

I battle my thoughts I find I can't explain
I've travelled so far but somehow feel the same

I'm worn, tired of my mind
I'm worn out, thinking of why
I'm always so unsure
I'm always so unsure

I'm worn, tired of my mind
I'm worn out, thinking of why
I'm always so unsure
I'm always so unsure

I'm always so unsure
I'm always so unsure
I'm always so unsure
I'm always so unsure

I am alive when I sleep
Why am I not in all that I got?
I can't find no one to blame

Stand, stand, damned one
Damned one
Damned one
Damned one

I am one
Damned
One

Where do I go?
