For many years I lived in the dark
Waiting for that magic spark
The light that would show me what is meant to be
Who it is, that will fulfill my destiny
The day finally came and the door gently opened with a shove
With the warmth of the light flooding in, I knew I was in love
I tried to deny that these feelings I had could ever be true
Could I really be in love? Could I be in love with you? ?
I knew I was an actress, my life a masquerade
Many masks I did wear for the truth to barricade
For if I face reality and let my true feelings show
Then twenty two years wouldn't have pass before you'd ever know
But I choose a path in life to follow and the path I chose was wrong
Suffocated by the lies which created my life made, the years went by so long
A noose wrapped tight around my neck weighed down by a heavy chain
Struggling I walked my path, every step an inch of pain
And then one day I just gave up and fell down onto the ground
Darkness descended upon my body, so with my hands I felt around
My fingers stumbled upon a mask, a simple piece of wood
And when I placed the mask on my face, the world seemed as though it should
However when I took it off, the darkness once again faded in
So I knew that I must wear the mask and let this surreal world from it take win
Many years I wore these masks to help the days go by
No feelings did I feel, my whole life was one big lie
One day as I was carrying on, just as I always did
Some news came from a whisper, words that were meant to be hid
The words did something to me and my heart began to beat
The numb feeling of my body began to radiate some steamy kind of heat.
I did not understand what was happening; I only knew that something was wrong
I had to get in touch with you; the connection of sadness I felt was so strong
And so I took my final step on the wrong path I did make
With my Bluetooth on, I heard your voice, and the heavy chain did break
The path turned in a different direction and the mask I wore fell off
Instead of darkness descending upon me, a bright light shone in and diminished the bitter scoff
The doorway to the path flew open and in the entrance you stood
My knight in shining armor to rescue me just like in fairy tales said you would
But then I realized you were not a knight, but a woman just like me
Both jilted by the ones we loved, left alone in sadness and misery
Right away we hit it off and I knew it was meant to be
You were the person in my dreams, the blonde one whose face I could never see
Every time I dreamt of you, I felt so warm and safe
In your arms you would hold me tight; I was a poor and lonely waif.
It turned out, though in the end, that we both needed each other very much
Our love blossomed into a beautiful garden with each sweet caress and gentle touch
You unlocked my door to the free world, a world not made by a path
Instead we walk hand in hand forward, the whole world to go together we hath.
