"My Life Inside Your Heart"



fighting back the impulse

turn my head and close my eyes

spending these nights awake and cold and paralyzed

wonder how we got this far and

never realized the common thread that binds our lives

and I know you hurt

but I can help you if you can...

take my hand

and we'll live inside the dreams we left behind

take my hand

as we move from this place to a better life

take my hand

(if you take my hand)

fighting back the feeling that you always could deny

anything but everything we know is just a lie

as I cremate this memory and watch the darkened ashes rise

and beneath the smoke

I'll stand and ask you if you can

take my hand

and I'll promise not to ever let it go

take my hand

'cause this hope is greater than you'll ever know

(take my hand)

and this is all I'll ever ask of you to show

fight back the urges

turn my head and close my eyes

and will I wake tomorrow still alive

I'm still dreaming

I'm still waiting

I'm still sure

(I'm still sure)

you're still living in a life

that isn't yours

(that isn't yours)

and this is part of me

I hope you never see

this is my life inside your heart

take my hand

and I'll promise not to ever let it go

take my hand

'cause this hope is greater than you'll ever know

(take my hand)

and this is all I'll ever ask of you to show
