Without Your Love

Love's so convincing when it begins
 Righteous and real, but it soon deserts you
 Before you know it you've reached the end
 Honestly, I never meant to hurt you.
 The moment that I found you
 I built my world around you
 You changed your name and you became my home
 And I called you my own
 Our happiness seemed haunted
 But you were all I wanted
 No clouds could fade the love we made sublime
 We were stronger than time.
 Time won in the end
 Our love was too precious to pretend
 Somehow I lost you.
 Without your love, will I ever be the same?
 Will the spring arrive?
 Will the rainbows chase the rain?
 Without your love
 We sailed through life together
 Survived the raging weather
 And then one day you came to say "good-bye"
 And I never knew why
 I prayed my heart could hide you
 From all the storms inside you
 The compass forced us way off-course somehow,
 And I never knew how
 Wind won in the end
 It wanted to break us, not to bend,
 And now I've lost you.
