Tides Turn...

Seems i'm alone
wherever i turn
too many bridges
seem to have burned
left here wondering
if my intentions are good
when all i want is to show i care
Will you remember
what the weather was like
at the turning of your life?
Hidden virtues don't mean a thing
when you have the pie
but choose a slice
turning to ice..

if someone doesnt shake me now
i wonder if i'll ever wake
from my foolish dreams
that always seem to break
and i don't know how much more i'll take
before im swept away...

im not thinking
all i ever do is feel
and my emotions are way too real
perhaps some drinking
will relax me
but no, not really, my friends
it wont help me to conceal
or turn my heart to steel

if someone doesnt shake me now
i wonder if i'll ever wake
from my foolish dreams
that always seem to break
and i don't know how much more i'll take
before im swept away...
