One foot onto the ice
I hold my breath and try to believe
Can I look at you with different eyes?
Like the girl that I was, when I was 17
The fallen empires,
The shattered glass
Are the wicked echos of my past
I've seen it all before, that's why I'm asking.
Will you still be here tomorrow
Or will you leave in the dead of the night?
So your waves don't crash around me,
I'm staying one step ahead of the tide.
Will you leave me lost in my shadows
Or will you pull me into your light?
Teach me how to be loved
Teach me how to be loved
I got caught up in a daze
Of the wine and roses such a sweet escape
But I watched it all slip away
Like running water from my hands raining on this picture land
The fallen empires,
The shattered glass
Are the wicked echos of my past.
I've seen it all before, that's why I'm asking.
Will you still be here tomorrow
Or will you leave in the dead of the night?
So your waves don't crash around me,
I'm staying one step ahead of the tide.
Will you leave me lost in my shadows
Or will you pull me into your light?
Teach me how to be loved
Can I give myself just one more second chance
And put my trust in love?
Please don't hurt me.
If I make myself like a feather in your hand
Then put my trust in love
Please don't hurt me.
Will you still be here tomorrow
Or will you leave in the dead of the night?
So your waves don't crash around me,
I'm staying one step ahead of the tide.
Will you leave me lost in my shadows
Or will you pull me into your light?
Teach me how to be loved
Teach me how to be loved
