Looking For A Change

If I could take a moment, 

just one moment in my day

and find a really quite space 

where I could hide away

I'd close out all reality, 

and open up a fantasy;

and wait to see what there might be;

that just might make me stay.

Some people come into my life 

and never ever know

how deeply I'm affected 

when it's time for them to go

They bring out all that's best in me, 

I think I've found my destiny

and when they leave, the rest of me

is shattered by the blow

I think I have a right to love, 

and be loved in return

To walk right through the fire of love 

and never feel the burn

I give myself so passionately, 

it weakens me emotionally,

then blame myself absolutely 

because I never learn.

So let me find this moment, 

in a space somewhere out there

To heal the painful memories 

from hearts that didn't care

Abandoning the human race, 

I doubt I'd ever leave that place

And never ever need to face 

another sad affair.
