We dream so much that
We forget to live
We expect a fairytale
But we get a slap in the face
I'm done with it
With the frivolous notions
With the romantic ideas
Screw the candles
To hell with the flowers
Give me a warm body
That asks no questions
That requires no "little things"
I'd have been better off
Being born a Tin Man
You can be damn sure
That if I ever found a heart
I'd step on it

Forgive me father for I have sinned
I fell in love and didn't win
The heart I sought to be my own
So here I sit as cold as stone
Listen please to my plea
Help me regain my sanity
I want to live free once more
So that in the clouds again I'll soar
Once again help me live
I swear that never will I give
My heart so freely to a lie
If I do, then let me die

It's this moment that I'm in
The moment is where I choose to live
No dwelling on yesterday
No worrying about tomorrow
Just enjoying each second that ticks away
Basking in the light of hope
Today
I live in and for today
For the love I've been given
For the family I'ven been blessed with
For the friends I've earned
Each moment that ticks by
Is a choice
To enjoy or mourn over
The moment is full of potential
For love, hope, joy, faith...
Live in the moment
Live in the love you've been given
Live with me...

I can play this game
A blitz of words void of emotion
A benign sincerity
I can justify the neglect
Cover it with priority
Force it down with indifference
Yet I remain true
True to my heart
True to the words I professed
I am me and you are sadly....you
