Broken Dreams

Between you and me is a lifetime of pain
Kept hidden from all so that we can maintain
A semblance of sanity for broken dreams lost
How much does this role playing cost

Why do decisions we make in our youth
Bind us to burdens keep us from truth
Why can’t we move on let go and begin
to find ourselves again

Lost in a play where you hold my hand
I look in your eyes pretend that I am
The most priceless of gifts you’ve ever received
If only my heart could believe

Between you and me is a world unexplored
I’ve kept my scorecard and you’ve kept yours
Pretenders pretending a love that’s not there
Pretending that we really care

Between you and me we’ve nothing to give
Whatever was there no longer lives
The price to pretend is at too great a cost
Can we ever regain what we’ve lost

Lost in a play where you hold my hand
I look in your eyes pretend that I am
The most priceless of gifts you’ve ever received
If only my heart could believe

Between you and me is darkness and grief
More than we could ever perceive
Neither willing to step through the door
Releasing us to a life of much more

Between you and me it’s time to move on
Open the door both of us gone
Let go of the pain that both of us feel
Get on to a life that is real


Between You and Me is nothing it seems
We’re locked in our own broken dreams
