you see the shadows standing by your door

and as it inches open you say

I can't take it anymore

it's all too often

they take it out of you

why can't the love the way you love

why can't your dreams come true



and I see the pain running from your eyes

it tells me that you're desperate to find a love that can melt your cold heart inside

heal your hurt and ease your mind



look in the mirror

at your battered face again

it brings a tear to your eyes as you turn and see headlights in the driveway

he's coming home again

why can't he love the way you love

so hard to understand



you've traveled far from the place you once called home

now this time you feel so alone

this love will find you, the one you're searching for

and if you can love with this love

you'd be so much more, so much more
