Nothing But a Beautiful Dream

I got your letters last night,
So sweet, the words were music to me.
They spoke of the girl
Whom you realised was all you need.
But I woke up to the world,
So cruel, it never plays it fair.
I searched my whole day for you,
But never found you anywhere.

And time fled from me,
And I began to see that
Your words to me
Were nothing but a beautiful dream.

Ran away into you today,
Just a smile and I could hardly breathe.
A familiar voice in the air,
The heart melting inside of me.
And...

Hold

Why’s it you?
It’s always been only you.
I would’ve been fine
To fall to someone else.
You wouldn’t think
You’re ripping my heart out
Piece by piece.
I can’t tell you what you’ve done to me.

You’ve taken everything.

CHORUS:
But will I ever feel
Love like the kind you show?
And will I ever know,
Know what you’re like to hold?
Now I’ll never learn,
Learn to leave you alone.
But will you ever be,
Ever be mine to hold?

I must hide all too well,
Won’t you read my mind?
What my heart is...

Choke

I wouldn't say I'm any less of a woman,
In fact, you kinda bring her out of me.
And maybe now I'm a little less innocent,
But this pleasure is guilty.
I don't sleep when you're still awake,
We go 'til morning with the love we make.
I've been searching for something,
But I know the answer,
It's screaming your name.

And I am weak, I weaken for you.

CHORUS:
And it catches in my throat,
And I choke.
I get high, so high,
And I'm not coming down.
It catches inside
And I'm so exposed to you.
Damn it, I've...

The Poison

It's like the older we get,
The more reckless we become.
And the closer we get,
The more you can break my heart.
I know you really need me
And I've always felt the same,
But with the pain we give each other,
Are we making love in vain?
I'm smothered in the ashes
But I'm still breathing.
Either choice is a risk;
Dwelling or leaving.
I want to live without you,
But the picture scares me to death.

CHORUS:
Is it pride taking over?
Is it greed pulling us down?
We find ourselves writhing under,
And when...
