So who told you to walk back into my life,
To enter my world now I'm free,
Walking in so cool and smooth,
With those baby blues looking at me.
Looking as if you can read my mind,
Acting like you own my soul.
That smile, that laugh, that makes me melt,
That touch that makes me whole.

Acting as if the past were nothing,
Simply a faded old dream,
Pretending it was all an illusion,
Your façade makes me want to scream.
It was no dream, believe me honey,
I remember it strong and true,
Every last line, every past scene,
The nightmare of living with you.

The way you used the words of love,
Your calculated manipulation,
The way I accepted all you told,
My sad and sorry capitulation,
And all the broken promises,
A thousand tears could never heal,
And the millions of little lies,
Confusing illusion with what was real.

And I slept a dreamless slumber
for over a thousand years,
Crying a glistening river each night
of a thousand heart-felt tears.

So head back to that dark, dank place,
The hell hole from whence you came,
You once left me stumbling in my sorrow
Left me crying in my shame,
In truth I was at fault too,
Blinded by love I would not see,
What was happening to us,
The monster in you killing me.

So I built up my fortress safe and strong,
Building walls brick by brick tall and wide,
I kept everyone out, wouldn't let them in,
To keep safe from the harm outside,
And I'd learnt to show no emotion,
No pain, just an empty shell,
I lived my life alone and unloved,
Self-imposed exile from my living hell.

And I slept a dreamless slumber
for over a thousand years,
Crying a glistening river each night
of a thousand heart-felt tears.

Till l heard a gentle voice faintly calling,
Falling like soft rain on my parched soul,
And I raised my arms to the sunlight,
It's healing powers making me whole.
And you helped me leave my lonely tower,
While the wild beast angrily roars,
But its power was dispelled by you,
Removed with its fangs and its claws,
Thank you my friend for rescuing me,
Thanks for my second chance,
Thanks for helping me celebrate once again,
Life's endless, joyous dance.
