Closer than this

It burns her heart like a sun-struck desert plain

Closer than this

Lost this soul in the sand that knows no rain

More bitter than this

A taste that's sour for years and she can't lose

More bitter than this

Cross my heart and hope to God you

Stop!

We brave the strength of our emotions all our lives

It turns creation and elation into strife

The first step is the hardest

And some things are even left alone

More pressure than this

This brittle love reveals a flaw

More pressures than this

A subtle beauty is no more

Further than this

It devastates the peace we fought to fake

Further than this

And peace will flourish only when we

Stop!

We brave the strength of our emotions all our lives

It turns creation and elation into strife

The first step is the hardest

And some things are even left alone

I know the truth lies here

It's basking in glory

And as for the lies we read about

Another story, this is another story,,,

The first step is the hardest

And some things are even left alone

This is another story...
