Looking around the paths we used to walk,
I never realized how alone I felt until now.
My feet kick away the leaves,
The memories showing the steps you had taken.
You used to walk towards me,
And now you walk further and further away.
I never thought we'd end up this way.
I feign being all right with all of it.
But inside I'm begging you to turn around.
We used to be a love story,
And before you would have said, 'yes.'
I would have followed you wherever you said to run.
But where you run now I cannot follow.
If this is in my head, I wish the dream would fade.
I would love to wake up and know that you were still waiting.
But I know that this is the truth.
And the truth is I'm no longer with you.
My hands reach for you,
Seeking the warmth you provide.
And as skin touches skin,
I know you can't hide.
The dimness doesn't dull you.
You continue to shine beneath me
With your eyes closed, head tilted back.
I never want to leave this place.
Your lips are bruised from my love,
But the stripes on your skin are vivid with passion.
Your open arms are my heaven.
I never want to leave.
Our sounds fill up the space,
And I crave that look upon your face.
The look of rapture and pleasure
As you are overcome by my presence.
I find solace and acceptance between your legs,
A feeling only you can give me.
A completion so fulfilling that I can never let you go.
And I'll keep coming back for more.
I swore I had you wrapped about my finger,
But I feel that I belong to you instead.
Your lips part in a moan that shatters the stars.
I can never leave you now.
Clap your hands as the curtain opens.
This is what you've been waiting for.
You've counted and paid,
Now you just have to wait,
For the show you've been dying to see.
She steps onto the stage,
And the audience, it raves.
She is the most lovely of all.
She struts and she stares,
As she takes off the clothes that she wears.
Her voice is the most lovely,
Her body divine.
You sure are getting your money's worth.
She blows you a kiss,
And it's something you'll never miss.
You cave to your instincts,
And whistle your lust.
She just smiles and winks.
But do you really know?
Welcome to the Show.
From her point of view,
She's nothing to you.
She's just any pretty face.
Her body's divine,
And she pretends that everything's just fine.
As the end draws near,
She flicks away a tear,
And puts on her bravest face.
Strutting away,
She's got smiles for every day.
Putting on her normal clothes,
She sits and stares at herself.
She's mad and upset,
Because who would have guessed?
Even a show girl wants love.
Smile like you wish to.
Laugh like you want to.
Nobody knows when you're faking it.
Look into the mirror,
What do you see?
A failure, an outsider, a memory?
A pretty face is meaningless,
When all the perfect pieces,
Have been shattered on the floor.
There is only one place you can't hide.
You can't hide from yourself.
You can't be someone else.
This is what you are made of.
Just what the hell are you afraid of?
Smile like you mean it.
Laugh like you can't get enough.
Turn the tables on what you were.
Now it's your turn,
To be someone that makes you proud.
Turn your life around.
Turn the tables,
and just be yourself.
You'll make it through.
