A distinction with little difference
We cannot reconcile
A corridor of closing doors
The fading of your smile

I’ve tried to take these words apart
To understand this broken heart
I’m reaching out to what I find
Against the storm, against the tide

A metaphor a simile
A smile that meant so much to me
I can’t forget that moment or
The lost look in your eyes

I’m standing on a burning bridge
Wondering how I should live
This twisted knot must be undone
To clear a path for anyone

It doesn’t matter what I say
You wouldn’t listen anyway
The hope is gone, the past is lost
I still cling on but at what cost?

I feel the cold across my skin
The shivers that come from within
At recognition of the end
Of all we had and lost again

Part 2
A stolen look a feathered touch
I know it doesn’t mean so much
But I will take what I can find
The bitterness of passing time

Silicone enhanced rejection
Another night of soul reflection
Now that you have walked away
I can’t help wish that you would stay

And I’ll pretend to be "the one"
To hold her hand and walk along
The beach and as they take me deep
Inside I’ll mourn the part of me that died

It doesn’t matter who I find
I’ll never gaze into their eyes
For all I’ll find & all I’ll see
A stranger gazing back at me

Part 3
And you don’t care what I say
It doesn’t matter anyway
That look has gone. The pain inside
Has burnt away my perfect bride

And even as your heart grows cold
I’m trying hard to hold on to
The memories that pass away
Against the brutal things you say

All I’ve lost & all I’ve known
And all these times I’ve died alone
I must feed upon this fear
Or I will fade & disappear

All I seek & all I’ve found
All these memories I’ve drowned
There’s something that I think you missed
You never gave me one last kiss

And I tried so hard to find the
Magic words to change your mind
The chance to reconcile has gone
But something new may come along

It’s lonely here so I must go and
Find another place to show the
World that I can find my way but
This is where I’ll always stay

Outro
One last kiss is all I need
One last enduring memory
One last kiss, from my bride
To save me from the cold inside
