If Words Were Like Water

If words were like water
And they gave me the chance to breathe and flow the way I want
Would I taunt any idea not to speak my mind
To find a reason to begin anew
Few times in our lives do we seek miracles and diamonds
Lives to start all new, silver lining
Clever lying and the dream was almost real
Could almost feel the joy
Just a toy
Just a ploy
I know that would have been nice
Twice fooled
Ruled by a tyrant without a heart
Apart from laws
A jaw I would love to break
Taking my peace
My love
My dream

It seems
She would take my life
My naturalness
As we speak
Sometimes things get old
Told from the beginning I would never get far
Still I dreamt
Still I kept hope
Just wondering
Just trying to believe
That my life might actually turn out to be something
Nothing but a crash and burn
Turn into a hit and run
But it's only begun
When in doubt, pray
When in love, stay
When in life, trust no one
And believe nothing
Dream not for something
But for someone
And maybe
Just maybe
Your heart may be saved.
