Standing on the edge of reason

Leaning toward the unfamiliar

Will this be another season

Of fading dreams that slowly wither away?

In my mind I conceive this feeling of bliss

I'll run away from things I won't miss

Drawn to only what could be

Never really knowing what you mean to me

What you mean to me

No matter how close

No one really knows the fire that grows

If I could only show you something real this time

In spite of all this emptiness I feel inside

'Cause all I ask of you this time

Is look beyond the things I said that didn't shine

And try to understand the shades of gray in all of my mistakes

And turn them into colors of a better time

It's blind sometimes what gets me through the day

Surrounded by a sea of faces

Looking for a place in history

The arrogance of being famous

I try to rid myself of vanity

Finding out too many secrets

Losing all the joy of mystery

Hanging on to broken pieces

Never really knowing what they mean to me

Who I want to be

No matter how close

No one really knows the fire that grows

If I could only show you something real this time

In spite of all this emptiness I feel inside

'Cause all I ask of you this time

Is look beyond the things I said that didn't shine

And try to understand the shades of gray in all of my mistakes

And turn them into colors of a better time

It's blind sometimes what gets me through the day

And on and on it goes

Will I ever really know

What it means to give another all the

Things that I've been holding to myself

To myself

No matter how close

No one really knows the fire that grows

If I could only show you something real this time

In spite of all this emptiness I feel inside

'Cause all I ask of you this time

Is look beyond the things I said that didn't shine

And try to understand the shades of gray in all of my mistakes

And turn them into colors of a better time

It's blind sometimes what gets me through the day
