SARAH McLACHLAN lyrics : "Awakenings"

When we first met the well was dry
A long dark winter passed us by
With shooting stars and hopeful hearts our worlds collide

And so we rushed to fill each other in

Quick to feed our hungry hopes

A feast of our affections we were born anew
With open eyes we tried to make it work
And for a while the magic took

But cracks began to show as soon as things got hard

Like paper walls our feelings tore

We threw our backs against the door
Unwilling to bear witness to the other side


Oh, the games we play to hide the tangled dread inside
The fear that we are going nowhere fast
So we point the finger out, the anger gets so loud

It drowns out all the sorrow, at least until tomorrow...what then?

I took a good hard look at how I loved

Years I squandered falling fast
For any boy who'd have me was so insecure
I'd lie awake alone at night

Full of loathing, compromised
And wondering how the hell did I end up like this


Oh, the tears of rage I cried, when nowhere could I find
An answer that made any kind of sense to me
I point the finger out, the anger gets so loud

It drowns out all the sorrow, at least until tomorrow...what then?

Oh I wanna learn, I wanna know

Will our history crush us or can we let it go?
I'm not the girl I was but what have I become?
I'm not so willing anymore to bend

Still pleasing and conceding
But I'm not gonna lose myself again
