A broken shell when we met
A shattered world on the mend
A smile shedding light on
Everything it felt right but
The timing it was all wrong
And the waiting it felt so long
Youth gave me the time to lend
And I would do it all again
The world has a way
The world has a way of saying
This has to be
This has to end up this way
Testing our fate
Laughing in destiny’s face
Took you into my world
Protect you all that I could
Gave you all that I thought you’d want
The glow you gave was payment enough
The guard I had up is gone
I was shut off far too long
Heart on my wrist and not my sleeve
But for you I’d do it all again
The world has a way
The world has a way of laughing
This has to be
This has to end up this way
Testing our fate
Laughing in destiny’s face
Is this the place,
Place that you’re longing to stay
Just standing there
Standing with nothing to say
Time has
Robbed us of what we know
Made us think that we are fractured
These changes shouldn’t break us
When we are...
Holding forever and always in our hands
Look at where we have been
I don’t know where it will end
The light in your eyes has dimmed a bit
Dolefully I reminisce
Does it grow more each day
Or that something you just say
But no matter what tomorrow brings
For you, I’d do it all again
The world’s in my way
It won’t stop me from trying
This has to be
This has to end up this way
Testing our fate
Laughing in destiny’s face
Is this the place
Place that you’re longing to stay
Just standing here
Waiting for what you might say
