It's a precious lie with a heart of glass

Darling, I hate to see you so angry with the world
If people want a piece of you
Then they're missing something for themselves .
Maybe it's selfish of me to look at you an say
"Come back to me girl I love and I'll stay"

Cause I love your smile
Yes I love your smile
How I love your smile
More than you know.

As a child with ocean eyes I smiled
At a world existing just for me ;
Without boxes, borders or boundaries
I built dreams ;
But like plastic building blocks
They were knocked down the ground
I grew up
To a world of compromise
Analising what it means to dream

I don't really wanna understand
Everything in my world
It spoils the fun for me
Come on darling you can take my hand
Blowing kisses in the wind
We'll fly away in our dreams
From the boxes they'll put us in

An now you're loosing sleep
With memories you spend all night playing hide and seek
Replaying how it should have been and could have been
If only there were omens that you could have seen
Back in that room again
You hope to reach me through a medium
But there is no use ; I can't reply to this lover's cry
Oh ! How I wish I just could see you
One more time to say goodbye.

If you say this is pop, to be singing to a tune with a rhythm like this, would it be so unpopular for a singer like me to be bringing up the fact that we're all gonna go ? Some people swear, they say they know where.
For me it's a mystery. But which ever way you see it
you have to admit it and live it and live it !

[...]
This is not a sad song !
I don't bring it up to get you down,
It's a celebration of all the red cells
going round and round in your body !

But we have only just begun
Still so much for us to learn
Give and take ; let's take our time
Taking turns in touching
Nowhere that I'd rather be
Than with you making history
Close your eyes ; I'll close mine
And learn to love you

No one needs to know
If we chose to run away far from here
Yes this is a kind of revelation. Charlie Winston.
