Shandée - Chasing Dreams

The past has struck me hard, it seems Preventing me from moving ahead in my dreams When I finally break my heart's icy shell Chained ghosts surface and my happiness quell I should not care about what others think But fear grips me, and I'm on the brink Countless nights with just my pillow for a friend Sharing all my sorrows, with no sign of an end Moments I never thought I'd live, I've seen The world thinks I'm insane, and that's what it's been What's the use of sanity in a world that doesn't care? No one understands my pain, and no one's there Someone kissed me with their heart, and I let go Lost in their embrace, I reached for the sky's glow But it vanished, just as it came Leaving me with nothing but an empty frame All I have now is my own mind Stupid doubts that won't let me unwind How can I forget the love I had The promises and stories that made me glad It hurts to hold onto these memories, I know But they're all I have, and I won't let go I've cried enough, screamed at life Said I won't love again, that I'll never thrive But someone new has come into my life Filling my days with joy, removing strife My nights are no longer lonely, with them near They think of me and care, and that's so dear My tears have turned to smiles, my laments to glee It's not magic, just something that had to be I must handle it with maturity, not fall again For love is a risky game, filled with pain I'm afraid to lose sight of where I'm headed For when the heart falls, the brain is bedded A new life is offered, and I want to believe It won't be easy, but I won't deceive I asked the heavens for comfort, and an angel came Saying that I'll never be happy if I don't lose shame It's better to try and fail than to never know Regretting what I didn't do, with nothing to show So, I'll leave everything behind and give it a shot Before losing someone who says they love me a lot
