We can't blame others when love dwindles away-
For we knew from the start it never promised to stay.
*
It's just one of those things
Where the stakes are high-
And sometimes it's forever, and sometimes
It's goodbye.
*
When you love the right way, you will never
Lose-
No matter what path life may force you to
Choose.
*
You may end up with tears or a broken
Heart-
But you knew what you signed up for
From the start.
*
You can only give what you've got to give-
And if that's not enough, then you must
Continue to live.
*
Life will go on and broken hearts will heal-
You must continue on your quest, for
That's the deal.
*
Throw your heart into life and never stall-
For the greatest risk is to risk nothing
At all.
*
You see, love is the only thing that we
Know-
That can be divided and divided but
Continue to grow.
*
And life isn't long enough to lock
Away our heart-
Just because life may have forced two
People apart.
*
We will continue to love and continue
To lose-
We will continue to pick and continue
To choose.
*
And then one day we will just risk it
All-
Take the chains off our hearts and
Dismantle the wall.
*
The last time we love will be the forever-
And never again will our hearts
Be forced to sever.
*
We'll never have doubts that it'll go
Away-
Because this time, it'll be here to stay.
*
But until then we must endure all
The pain-
For we only see sunshine if we can wait
Through the rain.
