Life is not always
What it appears to be
There are so many words
That could have been said
Time has swallowed them
And left them for dead
Love is not really
What you expect of me
I know there is a better way
To express what's been laid down
And can't be changed
With the choices I've made
Accuse me of living
How I wish to live
Touch me, touch me
How I want to be touched
Feel me, feel me
Like I've never been felt before
Who could ever foretell
Our similar pain
In your own words
My friends have moved away
But loneliness has stayed on my side
Our similar pain
In your own words
My friends, where are they
Our similar pain
In your own words
My friends, where are they now
Who could ever foretell
That life would move on
I want to say my love for you
Will never fade
It's not likely to stray
With the choices I've made
Accuse me of living
How I wish to live
Touch me, touch me
How I want to be touched
Love me, love me
Like I've never been loved before
