THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...)
ENTRANCE
I invested everything in you
then you fell through
and I lost everything
now I'm a devastated shade of blue
only you knew
I gave you everything
and I look around now
and wonder why I'm still alive
every moment is an abstract struggle to survive
and I don't understand
I did everything you asked me to do
what really happened to us deep inside of you?
you say it wasn't planned
so when you saw me going under
why did you keep holding me down?
you say you didn't mean it
so when you found someone else
why did you keep holding me down?
you say you don't know
so why don't you stop?
why do you keep holding me down?
you know what I mean
why do you hold on?
and still keep me far away...
I am listening
do you have anything to say?
love is an investment of the soul
invested time and energy
invested trust and all the secrets
that make us who we are
love is an investment of control
a merging of identity
invested parts of you and me
love dares to go that far
and if it goes bust
it takes all the trust
and leaves a void of confusion
a distorted illusion
a shattered image
that two dared create
turning the one we love
into the one we hate
damned to believe
I was betrayed
by my own heart
and plans I made
damned to accept
I lost it all
all I invested
in you... no show, final call...
I invested everything in you
then you fell through
and I lost everything
now I'm a devastated shade of blue
only you knew
I gave you everything
and I look around now
and wonder why I'm still alive
every moment is an abstract struggle to survive
and I don't understand
I did everything you asked me to do
what really happened to us deep inside of you?
