A breaking of silence-a stranger in a long lost town

Regaining a conscience-convenient when no one's around

But if I could tell you I would - And if I could stop this I would

A tired existence-a young man who's grown old

The word of insistence-in doing what I'm told

But if I could hold you, I would - And if I could help you I would

I feel like it's over-Like the world is down on me

And I can feel you-Your presence haunting me

A lost confession-a bearing of my soul

Showing emotions-in knowing what I know

But if I could know you I would - And if I could show you I would If I could touch you I would - And if I could love you I would

All they say when it slipped away, is you must be crazy boy you're all alone How can this be, life's got the best of me and I watch my heart burn way down below Yes I watch my heart burn way down below, I watch my heart burn way down below

Wandering soldiers-those I called my friends

Deafening silence-which I've grown to depend

Just a question-what's meant by this life

Just an illusion-of what's wrong and what is right

But if I could teach you I would - And if I could reach you I would And If I could hate you I would - And if I could be you I would

All they say when it slipped away, is you must be crazy boy you're all alone How can this be, life's got the best of me and I watch my heart burn way down below Yes I watch my heart burn way down below, Yes I watch my heart burn way down below

And if I could tell you...
