This

is

not

the

life

that

I

dreamed

it

could

be

I'm

sta-

ring

in-

to

the

eyes

of

the

shell

left

of

me

And

now

eve-

ry

de-

ci-

sion

I

make

The

good,

the

plea-

sure

and

the

pain

Could

sim-

ply

all

be

e-

rased

if

I

choose

it

to

be

This

night-

mare

un-

folds

like

a

rose

a-

wakes

to

the

spring

Oh,

it's

so

close

to

the

sa-

ni-

ty

I'm

try-

ing

to

cling

to

I'm

tea-

ring

out

the

pa-

ges

'cause

it

hurts

To

be

forced

to

feel

the

heart's

break

How

much

of

this

tor-

ture

can

I

take?

Is

it

not

worth

the

risk

to

cre-

ate

just

one

more

try?

I

know

that

I

can

fix

it

If

you

could

re-

write

our

life

a-

ny

way

that

you

please

Would

you

tear

out

the

pa-

ges

of

our

me-

mo-

ries?

Would

you

take

back

the

pain

and

all

the

hurt

we

cre-

ate?

Or

could

you

be

sa-

ti-

sfied

with

the

love

that

you

made

with

me?

If

you

could

re-

write

our

life

a-

ny

way

that

you

please

Would

you

tear

out

the

pa-

ges

of

our

me-

mo-

ries?

Would

you

take

back

the

pain

and

all

the

hurt

we

cre-

ate?

Or

could

you

be

sa-

ti-

sfied

with

the

pro-

mise

you

made?

And

so

we

re-

write

our

life,

but

it's

not

what

we've

made

In

the

cha-

os

we

dance

as

we

stand

un-

a-

fraid

Al-

ways

one

change

a-

way

from

ma-

king

our-

selves

com-

plete

The

world

will

pe-

rish

in

flames

And

I'll

watch

as

you

fade

from

me
