So what you're really trying to say

Is you don't want me to stand in your way

Is that all that you feel right now



My Dear, I wish that you would understand

Sometimes things just go out of hand

And some things just happen somehow



For a shred of hope you would follow the devil

For a sense of bliss you would sell all of your dreams

For a trace of love we may lose mind completely

And there is not a lot that we can do



Is there nothing that we could do...



Are we caught up in that river's flow

And for every new way that we go

Do we have to leave something behind



My Dear, it's that river that gives and that takes

So for every new turn that it makes

We lose one thing but another we find



For a shred of hope...



How many times did I wish I could just end this pain

That I could go back in time

To where it began and then start again



Well, if we could so, it would be so easy to make amends

But the river doesn't stand still

And the river just gives no second chance



Is there nothing that we could do...
