Lyrics
I was looking, but I didn?t see the signs
I was listening, but I didn?t hear you crying
It seems I was too far-gone in my own little world
You were hoping, that your love would pull us through
And you tried so hard to make it all come true
But you couldn?t reach me through the walls that I built in my head
So instead
(Chorus)
You lay down in another?s bed
And that visions burning inside my head
He made you feel alive again
Simply listening to
The things you said
When I met you, we could sit and talk for hours
Gaze at each other, caught up in the power
The simple dreams that we shared kept our love alive
Then life started to get crazy
And the pressure mounted in my head
What little time that I had, should have been spent with you
What did I do?
(Chorus)
When you walked in last night
I could tell by your eyes
That your heart
Was stolen away
Though you tried to fight it
His love so inviting
With the words that I never said
(Lead)
(Chorus)
You lay down in another?s bed
And that visions burning inside my head
If I could hold you in my arms again
I would listen to
The things you said
