barriers

love song

I'm not one to wear my heart out on my sleeve

but I swear that I will never ever let you leave

time has slowed down as we near our destiny

from here on baby it seems its gonna be you and me

maybe i'm crazy but I always thought love meant pain

an emptiness inside once filled just cant be sustained

my heart became a mirror reflecting only its frame

I made myself a winner while still losing the game

you taught me the rules that seem to apply

in closest proximity two lover you and I

now there is no longer a fear in my heart

my life is filled with open doors and the remains of barriers

you have shattered all my delusions

love can sometimes live up to the illusion

and every beat of your heart breaks down barriers

and every beat of my heart is closer to strange exposures
