Flood

You may think I’m invincible, that nothing phases me

God that man is so strong, someone that we can all depend on

You couldn’t be more wrong

Because you will never see behind the mask

That papers over my fundamental cracks

The perfect disguise for that soft, vulnerable centre of mine

Hiding on the inside

Now those cracks are beginning to show

Months of silence are taking their toll

The solid foundations we built are now under strain

I sit defenceless with my hands tied

Helpless to stop the pain

All I can do is pray

That you won’t turn and walk away

But in reality, you’re experiencing conflict all the same

Are things beginning to change

Not much word from you, I sit and wonder

I tell you to let it all go only to discover

That you have feelings for another

Flashbacks to my worst nightmare as I remember with shame

The last love I destroyed, where I was the one to blame

Trust me a heart is easy to break, a relationship easy to tear apart

When you know what to say

Those fatal words of mine

Cut deeper than a knife

And I’ve never regretted anything more in my life

Is this the beginning of the end

Are we heading the same way

Lightening is about to strike twice

I can’t let this happen again

But I’m scared sick by the cold dagger in my chest

That tells me you won’t stay

I’ve never been happier than when we had it perfect

Those are the times that make all the pain worth it

I remember the days when I couldn’t hide the smile

And even the moments when I dared to dream

Of walking down the Isle

Looking into your beautiful eyes

Saying ‘I do’

And spending the rest of my life with you

Then we’d be together you and me

Two hearts beating as one:

A Family

That’s the perfect fantasy

But right now, its as far away as it will ever be

With you by my side I can stand so tall

Though I fear I’m about to lose it all

And this time as I look to the heavens

Begging God to hear the plea

Of a scarred man broken on his knees

I can’t stop the flood

As the tears take their fall.
