It's something that always gnaws away at me

As I recall a page in my not-so-glowing history

I shudder, chilled by the memory

I'm not in the least surprised that I find it hard to believe

Time may be for healing

But it's no match for this silent disease

I know that only one thing can cure me

After the last time, I'd said it was the end

And yet I've fallen in love again

Spellbound by another angel who is heaven sent

However, there are still fragments of the old that I can't forget

Parts of the past that have never left

When pieced together they form my greatest regrets

We never experienced the wonderful bliss of a single kiss

I never held her hand

Never truly proved that I was the right man

We would never feel the connection of an honest touch

Inspired by what we called real love

Even then all the signs said that I wasn't good enough

This is what I need to put right

I have no real purpose otherwise

And until I do that past will continue to plague my mind

I still haven't seen your face after all this time

I'm beginning to wonder if I'm reading the same signs

I've almost lost you once before

So there still may be every chance that you'll walk

I'm scared by that thought

The truth is that until I break those barriers

I can't say that we're a success

I want us to be happy in the end

Maybe enjoying life in seventh heaven

Though I must confess

That the doubts will linger on in my head

The constant fear of making the same mistakes

Feeling the same crushing pain

Of not being able to see your beautiful face

And having to watch everything we have fade away

I know I must seize that day

And I can only hope you'll stay

Because until then I can't forget

And I won't be able to lay this demon to rest
