You always pave the way
Your lust for life was a guiding light
cutting through the pain
Some of our regrets
Are better left unsaid
And all of these till laws and flaws
make love a hopeless cause

Crashing waves
Flooding through you
Wash away

I know you said don't cry
And we all see the light
But I deny the Sun is
