I tear my heart open I sew myself shut That the past is real Our scars remind us My weakness is That I care too much I tear my heart Open just to feel Just to feel

Waiting for a surprise And he will feel like he's been there for hours And I can tell that he'll be there for life Sitting on the sea Soaking up the sun He is a real lover And making up the past Feeling up his girl

I won't let this build up inside of me She isn't real I can't make her real She seems dressed in all the rings Of past fatalaties So fragile yet so devious She continues to see it Climatic hands that press

I cast doubt (No longer) I am able, I am strong And now it dwells in me I cast doubt aside Now hold this tight Don't let go I can't forget the past is real No longer fight this feeling

I won't let this build up inside of me She isn't real I can't make her real She seems dressed in all the rings Of past fatalaties So fragile yet so devious She continues to see it Climatic hands that press

That nothing's really gone We bring the past along And love goes on There ain't nothin' so broken Love can't heal, I feel Every day I grow older Time reveals, reveals How do I fill this emptiness? This heaviness I bear

I tear my heart open I sew myself shut That I care too much That the past is real Just to feel And my weakness is And our scars remind us And my scars remind me I can't help you fix yourself

Gently my mind escapes into the relaxing mode of pleasure A pleasure that will take my mind off the reality of life My past life Life as I know it know And whatever may come it slowly disappears To somewhere in the back of my mind It will remain there
