The Forest
I lost myself within a forest
Of beautiful browns and greens
I don't regret it for a moment
My time among the trees
I laughed and danced and sang
Within that lovely wood
I wish even now that I'd have stayed
And if it were possible I would
Sad things went on in that place
Most that I could bear
But there were others that i couldn't take
For they made my poor heart tear
It happened more than once, that I tried to leave there
I almost made it out too
But i began to miss the sweet air
Just as I began to miss you
Love for you is what brought me
Away from the plain blue sky
Because the only thing I wanted to see
Was the forest of your eyes
The sin that made me numb
Is starting to fade away
I only fight it because I'll feel dumb
If I keep doing this the same
Why? Oh why,
Are your eyes burned in my head?
My oh my
Could this be happening again?
Why do I keep wandering
To these familiar woods?
It's not that i don't want to stay
I'm not sure if I should
No longer am I welcome
There is silence in the trees
No longer can I call this home
No more soft whispers in the breeze
I wish I could reach out and touch you
The way I did before
I'd give up anything I have
To be able to hold you just once more
How dreadful is this sin
To still love you in my heart
How terrible to want to kiss your lips
And never have ours part
Do not feel guilty or frustrated
For none of this is your fault
I would not have changed this
Even if I could go back to the start
