Something to Live For

The Flicker of a flame

I’ll never be the same

Since the day you came

Life seems like a confusing game,

With the flutter of my heart

Was hoping for you from the start

Cupid’s hypnotic poisoned dart

Don’t you know I’ll play the part?

With disaster always near

Things aren’t always very clear

If only I could dry your tears

Acquitted by a jury of your peers,

Sometimes I think I can’t do this anymore

There are detractors by the score

Got these feelings to explore

Our sincere love they always ignore,

Just give me something to live for

Wish you were knocking at my door

Forgetting all the pain and sorrow from before

Can love really be restored?

The flicker of a flame

Let me break the evil chains

Let me overcome the human stain

The emotions that drive us insane,

With the flutter of my heart

Will we simply end up apart?

Will our love be off the charts?

Oh how I struggle to breathe life into art.
