Sapphire Lyrics - Singles - Redemption

The road I've walked for my whole life 

Has brought me to this crossroads 

And I'm standing here beside you. 

I know you've never been someone 

To take things on a leap of faith 

Please trust me once and never cry again. 

Hold my hand 

We can this slowly 

And see where it might lead 

Going into 

Going into 

Going into 

Going into you 

And everything seemed to make sense 

The first time that things seemed to fall in place 

Just for a little while 

And now my hopes and dreams 

Are falling down. 

Claw out my eyes, I'd rather be blind 

Than to see you turn around and walk away from me 

Tear off my ears, I'd rather be deaf 

Than hear you say goodbye. 

The lucky ones will never 

Share what we've shared 

For I'm damned to know exactly 

just what might have been 

Can't somebody stop this? 

I feel like I'm drowning 

And everywhere I turn 

The water's deeper. 

It would tear out my heart 

To be nothing more to you 

Than a smile that occasionally 

Crosses your face 

Twentyfive years from now 

What will we have? 

A pile of ash 

Of what could have been 

Treasures can slip through your fingertips 

And sapphires melt in your hand 

As I gaze in your jaded eyes 

I pray that this world isn't ending 

Walking down this road 

I thought I felt you hold my hand 

But looking I can see my palm is empty. 

How can you turn from me? 

All that I wanted 

Was to catch the stars and lay them at your feet. 

It would tear out my heart 

To be nothing more to you 

Than a smile that occasionally crosses your face 

Treasures can slip through your fingertips 

And sapphires melt in your hands 

You turn to me with your jaded eyes 

And I'm scared that I know how this ends. 

And everything fell into place 

But now it is falling apart 

I'm trying to hold on 

But I can see you fading. 

Be quick 

Or you missed it 

Sometimes when our backs are turned 

A choice is made 

Once in a lifetime 

If you didn't see it coming 

Then you're much too late 

This self-constructed prison 

Is comfortable and warm 

But I can't escape the feeling 

That there must be something more. 

Everything we've been through 

Has made us who we are 

Has brought us here 

And now the choice is ours to make 

I'm begging you 

I'm pleading on my knees 

I can't believe that this was just a big mistake. 

From jewl gem-stoned memories 

To jaded guarded energies 

To just gentle victory 

I know we couldn't last 

Tell me what I've got to do 

Tell me what I've got to do 

To get inside your heart. 

Where do we go 

When there are no more conspiracies? 

When there's only you and only me 

Seeing each other for the very first time. 

I pledge myself 

If you stumble I will carry you 

And wipe away your tears 

If you were mine. 

And I'm holding out for a miracle 

But I'm scared to let go of the blood in my hand 

And afraid that I've run out of time for a second chance. 

I wanna drown myself in your eyes 

I wanna drown myself 

I wanna believe 

But I'm scared that your lying. 

Please tell me there's hope 

For the ghost of a second chance 

For the ghost of a second chance. 

Chances are meant 

Meant to be taken 

But my life's so fragile 

And it's breaking into pieces. 

Somebody help me 

I feel like I'm dying 

And I reaching for your hand 

But it's not there. 

And I pray that we know what we're missing 

And we'll never imagine what might have been 

But twenty five years from now 

I'll still hold on 

To a fading dream of me and you 

Of me and you. 

Treasures have slipped through my fingertips 

And the sapphires melted from my hand 

I'll never forget the look in your eyes 

When you lied and said this wasn't ending 

Treasures have slipped through my fingertips 

And the sapphires melted from my hand 

I say goodbye to your jaded eyes 

As we reach our unnatural end.
