We talk it out,
feeling low but finding ourselves in a warm place
come in pretending we don't ever scar
but weeks go by and before we know it we're spilling out our secrets we kept deep inside
Why?

maybe then we can be forgiven for our betrayals
maybe then we'll allow those wounds to heal

i think we all search for ourselves day in and day out
masking our desire with eyes that seek to please

maybe then we can live in a moment where the past and the future aint nothing but a blur
a sweet echo to replace all the insecurities that arise from pleading and needing and believing that we could change the world

but do we ever, can't even save ourselves

maybe then I will decide to forget about fate for awhile and let my denial sink into the sand
watch the sky roll by while my heart keeps lookout for land

maybe then i'll know what it means to holds somebody in a way other than this starving for myself
to be seen as a human... what it is
and see through your visage too
we are all the same
nothing different but the name

I look at you with fear but all that comes out is my aching for your body
i look at you with trust and my daydreams blind me
can't we live for the moment

maybe then
we can dry up these oceans of tears from spreading our soul too thin
from fighting too many battles we just weren't mean to win

So I have just one question to ask and wish you would listen with all that you have left
if I give it one more try, maybe, you will too
