"...I'm still gonna try to live by it.
I'm still gonna try to put my faith to rest in it.
I will sleep on dry pillows now, in a bed big enough to love myself in.
I will awake in these coming mornings with my eyes dry and shining, full of the knowledge I am priceless and worth nothing but honesty.
I will remove the scarlet letter from my chest and take the hand of the little girl I used to be and say I'm sorry to her.
I'm am sorry for cheating you out of the joy you have always deserved.
And I will wait for a man to come along that can give me the truth of how much he can really love me."

"...But the time has come
To move along

The fire fades away
Most of every day
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the other side of the world

Can you help me?
Can you let me go?
And can you still love me
When you can't see me anymore?

You're the other side of the world to me..."

"mi amor se nutre de tu amor,
amada, y mientras vivas estará en tus brazos
sin salir de los míos."

-Pablo Neruda

C'est la Vie

Come to decide that the things that I tried
Were in my life just to get high on

When I sit alone come get a little known
But I need more than myself this time

Step from the road to the sea to the sky
And I do believe that we rely on

When I lay it on
Come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice

Hey oh listen what I say oh
I got your
Hey oh (now) listen what I say oh

When will I know that i really can't go
To the well once more time to decide on

When it's killing me
When will I really see
All that I need to look inside

Come to believe that I better not leave
Before I get my chance to ride

When it's killing me
What do I really need
All that I need to look inside

Hey oh listen what I say oh
Come back and
Hey oh look at what I say oh

The more I see the less I know
The more I like to let it go... hey oh whoa

Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow

Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there's nowhere to go

In between the cover of another perfect wonder
And it's so white as snow

Running through a field where all my tracks will
Be concealed and there is nowhere to go

When to descend to amend for a friend
All the channels that have broken down

Now you bring it up
I'm gonna ring it up
Just to hear you sing it out

Step from the road to the sea to the sky
And I do believe that we rely on

When I lay it on
Come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice

Hey oh listen what I say oh
I got your
Hey oh listen what I say oh

The more I see the less I know
The more I like to let it go... hey oh whoa

Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow

Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there's nowhere to go

In between the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow

Running through the field where all my tracks will
Be concealed and there is nowhere to go

I said hey yeah
Oh yeah
Tell my love now

Hey yeah
Oh yeah
Tell my love now

Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow

Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there's nowhere to go

Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow

Running through the field where all my tracks will
Be concealed and there's nowhere to go

I said hey oh yeah
Oh yeah
Tell my love now

Hey yeah
Oh yeah
