Shattered Vows

White dress, a dream, a fairy tale start Promises whispered, a pure, innocent heart I saw the sparkle, the charm, the grace Unknowing the storm brewing, the dark disgrace How could I be so blind, so naive and young? Trapped in a nightmare, a heart deeply stung A prisoner of love, or so I believed Now lost in the shadows, my spirit deceived I searched for the signs, but they slipped through my hand A master of deception, so cunningly planned A brilliant mind, clouded by love's sweet art How could I choose this pain, tear my world apart How could I be so blind, so naive and young? Trapped in a nightmare, a heart deeply stung A prisoner of love, or so I believed Now lost in the shadows, my spirit deceived I question my faith, doubt my own worth Am I destined for sorrow, a life of such dearth? God, hear my plea, forgive my despair Grant me the strength to break free, to dare How could I be so blind, so naive and young? Trapped in a nightmare, a heart deeply stung A prisoner of love, or so I believed Now lost in the shadows, my spirit deceived I'll find my way out, reclaim my own light With courage as amor, I'll rise up and fight A shattered vow, a painful art But healing will come, a brand new start
