Lyrics
If I could only ask you Amy: lyric by, Raymond Fry
Just one short life
Nobody knows, who carved a message on your heart
You touched the sky, with silent hunger
Held a battle plan to keep your hopes alive
You dared to trust,
Tried to survive, on the heat that remained in your heart
You hid the pain, beneath your anger
Tried to find a place to reach your saving grace
If I could only ask you Amy
Did you really have to take a stand
Mirroring reflections of wasteland
You couldn't bare the guns for hire
They couldn't wait to shoot you down
While the hearts that understood you
Would love you to the ground
You took your life,
In your own hands, engraved the pain upon your arms
You hurt yourself, more than anyone else
You took a piece of mirror glass that said it all
If I could only ask you Amy
Did you really have to take a stand
Mirroring reflections of wasteland
You couldn't bare the guns for hire
They couldn't wait to shoot you down
While the hearts that understood you
Would love you to the ground
You never hid your light
Your songs were all about your life
You couldn't bare the guns for hire
They couldn't wait to shoot you down
While the hearts that understood you
Would love you to the ground
If I could only ask you Amy
Did you really have to take a stand
Mirroring reflections of wasteland
You couldn't bare the guns for hire
They couldn't wait to shoot you down
While the hearts that understood you
Would love you to the ground
To the ground
