Born to Write

Every time I close my eyes Every time the lights not bright I can see you wondering Every time you leave me here Every time you close the door I embrace the darkness Is it a cage you lock me in Or are these chains of memories I cannot break free and clear So take my heart and leave behind The memories we made in life And just leave me wondering We may not be born to love But we were born to write Our own stories, dreams and lives And when you go and take it too far When you go and realise That I've finally seen the light There's no coming back this time You've played me for a fool in life And now the doors wide open I've packed my bags and left behind Left the memories and lies And left you wondering We may not be born to love But we were born to write Our 'own' stories, dreams and lives Have could you not have see the signs My heart was breaking every time And my pride was crumbling The plans we made just hopes of times Of when we could of lived a life Devoid of all this torment The dreams we shared dissolved and gone I know we tried but life moves on And the passion eroded We may not be born to love But we were born to write Our own stories, dreams and lives
