Shattered Paths

[Verse] Started young in summer glow Teenage love with hearts aglow Her folks turned colder day by day No permission come what may Held her hand said we’ll defy Fought for love till tears ran dry [Verse 2] Pressure grew her heart did sway Forced apart still dreamt away Years went by my heart would mend Time and trust could barely blend Others came but none compared First true love my soul impaired [Chorus] Heart in pieces world so torn Love so deep the pain reborn Tried to dream but in my mind Your memory still intertwined [Verse 4] Met again and sparks did fly Fear inside I won’t deny Past regrets and scars would yawn Can’t rebuild what’s dead and gone I confessed my love... but you walked away... You said Your was heart held by another’s sway! [Bridge] Years have passed and friends we stay Distance keeps my pain at bay Connection’s strong but fear remains Safety found in friendship’s chains [Chorus] Heart in pieces world so torn Love so deep the pain reborn Tried to dream but in my mind Your memory still intertwined [Verse 5] She said she loved another Left me shattered on the floor Eyes spoke a different story Heart beats heavy evermore Life was cruel and I was blind I had to leave her truth behind [Verse 6] Years passed with tar black nights My heart was bruised stayed cold Her parents' hate a bitter twist Now her lie feels so bold Tangled in this web of pain Memories in shadow's hold [Bridge] Broken ties and shattered dreams Lost in what could have been I fight each day my heart's unsure With the cancer raging on. My love for her still burning bright (BRIGHT)... I MOURN MY UNFULFILLED BRIDE! (BRIDE) [Verse 7] Doctors say it’s time to fight (fight) Battle deep within my Mind (Mind) Cancer creeps like haunting ghost (ghost) Feel so tired feel so alone (Alone...) Love's betrayal weighs me down (down) Uncertain of the path I roam (Roam...) [End] She's the light that slipped away Darkened skies above my head If fate leads me to her again Would our love rise from the dead? Now I face this deadly foe Knowing not if I will won (if I will won)(if I will won)
