Self-confession

And I know why (yes, I know why) I'm mourning us, the you and I Love's cruel joke, and time just flies Now I embrace (With grace) The truth that lives within the pain Though we won't be 'us' again How could I see Past the veil, you've draped on us With whispers of forevermore? And I confess The light I thought would guide me through Was just the ghost of love before In the quiet (in the quiet) Echoes of your laughter haunt Touching shadows, not your hand All these rooms (all these rooms) The space as empty as my trust It's the cost of love's demand Now I see clear (so clear) What's lost is not just you but us Fading pictures, not our plans And I admit (I admit) The hope I clung to blinds my eyes From the truth where I now stand
