lyrics

Chorus:
Between pain and desire, lies a hurtful reminder
of a heart that was broken and scarred in detail
Between now, and goodbye, as I ponder her beauty
Is the price of her memory worth all the pain and desire

I am safe now, I put my heart up on a shelf
I'm regaining, the comfort I had with myself
I got used to, this feeling of being alone
And with playing, the big game of life on my own
For the bitten are fit with a knowledge that won;t fade away
While the foolish take chances by offering their hearts in exchange

Chorus

Now I question, if I have the strength to reach out
Or the courage, to learn what this might be about
Am I able, to put myself through it again
Will I travel, ahead or go back where I've been
It's a game with no rules, that everyone's trying to win
It's a dangerous pool where you sink if you don't learn to swim

Chorus
