A Brighter Shore


Here I go again
Onto paths that I once tread
Ignoring the dread
That tears through my veins
The straight path now bends
Once again I've bled
These tears that I shed
And no one is to blame

I feel a tear in my eye
Once again I live a lie
Hoping to reach a brighter shore
There's no good way to say good-bye
And so I breathe another sigh
Knowing that you're behind the door
I feel the tear slip away
On a different path than me today
And I reach out to beg for more
On a brighter shore

Today I go my way
And the sadness fades away
There's no reason I should stay here
Holding all of this at bay
This is the final goodnight
And I leave without a fight
I can live alone with my fear
Because I know that this is right

I feel a tear in my eye
Once again I live a lie
Hoping to reach a brighter shore
There's no good way to say good-bye
And so I breathe another sigh
Knowing that you're behind the door
I feel the tear slip away
On a different path than me today
And I reach out to beg for more
On a brighter shore
