From the recording New Life
Lyrics
New Life
She never said she loved him, she never said she didn’t.
she only said she couldn’t say those words.
She hides away her yearning, but deep inside she’s burning.
She dreams about embracing a new life.
A new life where true love never fades, yes, it’s possible
that she will succumb to the weight.
She wrestles with her conscience, but it’s a losing battle,
it’s easier to leave things as they are.
Security and duty, commitment, and upbringing,
and guilt, shut down her thoughts of a new life.
A new life where true love never fades, yes, it’s possible
that she may succumb to the weight.
*************************
And even though she loves him, she has to keep her distance.
she wants to keep her fantasy alive.
She knows his heart is breaking, her whole being is aching,
She just can’t take the risk to entertain
A new life where true love never fades, it’s improbable
that she might succumb to the weight of buried pain.
