Sapphire lyrics

The road I've walked for my whole life
Has brought me to this crossroads
And I'm standing here beside you.

I know you've never been someone
To take things on a leap of faith
Please trust me once and never cry again.

Hold my hand
We can this slowly
And see where it might lead
Going into
Going into
Going into
Going into you

And everything seemed to make sense
The first time that things seemed to fall in place
Just for a little while
And now my hopes and dreams
Are falling down.


Claw out my eyes, I'd rather be blind
Than to see you turn around and walk away from me
Tear off my ears, I'd rather be deaf
Than hear you say goodbye.

The lucky ones will never
Share what we've shared
For I'm damned to know exactly
Just what might have been

Can't somebody stop this?
I feel like I'm drowning
And everywhere I turn
The water's deeper.


It would tear out my heart
To be nothing more to you
Than a smile that occasionally
Crosses your face

Twentyfive years from now
What will we have?
A pile of ash
Of what could have been


Treasures can slip through your fingertips
And sapphires melt in your hand
As I gaze in your jaded eyes
I pray that this world isn't ending


Walking down this road
I thought I felt you hold my hand
But looking I can see my palm is empty.

How can you turn from me?
All that I wanted
Was to catch the stars and lay them at your feet.


It would tear out my heart
To be nothing more to you
Than a smile that occasionally crosses your face

Treasures can slip through your fingertips
And sapphires melt in your hands
You turn to me with your jaded eyes
And I'm scared that I know how this ends.

And everything fell into place
But now it is falling apart
I'm trying to hold on
But I can see you fading.

Be quick
Or you missed it
Sometimes when our backs are turned
A choice is made

Once in a lifetime
If you didn't see it coming
Then you're much too late

This self-constructed prison
Is comfortable and warm
But I can't escape the feeling
That there must be something more.

Everything we've been through
Has made us who we are
Has brought us here
And now the choice is ours to make

I'm begging you
I'm pleading on my knees
I can't believe that this was just a big mistake.

From jewl gem-stoned memories
To jaded guarded energies
To just gentle victory
I know we couldn't last

Tell me what I've got to do
Tell me what I've got to do
To get inside your heart.


Where do we go
When there are no more conspiracies?
When there's only you and only me
Seeing each other for the very first time.

I pledge myself
If you stumble I will carry you
And wipe away your tears
If you were mine.

And I'm holding out for a miracle
But I'm scared to let go of the blood in my hand
And afraid that I've run out of time for a second chance.

I wanna drown myself in your eyes
I wanna drown myself
I wanna believe
But I'm scared that your lying.

Please tell me there's hope
For the ghost of a second chance
For the ghost of a second chance.


Chances are meant
Meant to be taken
But my life's so fragile
And it's breaking into pieces.

Somebody help me
I feel like I'm dying
And I reaching for your hand
But it's not there.

And I pray that we know what we're missing
And we'll never imagine what might have been
But twenty five years from now
I'll still hold on
To a fading dream of me and you
Of me and you.

Treasures have slipped through my fingertips
And the sapphires melted from my hand
I'll never forget the look in your eyes
When you lied and said this wasn't ending

Treasures have slipped through my fingertips
And the sapphires melted from my hand
I say goodbye to your jaded eyes
As we reach our unnatural end.
