Ivory

You come closer, but I hide away In my mind it's safe inside I try not to, but these feelings are mine And no one can see from the outside You push right through this veil of mine As you come to love my truth And it seems so easy But you don't know the real me And on broken Ivory, I lay you my story And to find my way home I beg you stay, tonight If you just wrap me with your hands of gold, so tight And I, have to say I wish it wasn't meant to be this way When you're so close and I'm so far away Say you love me, say you wish that I was the one While I pick up, pieces of this scattered life for fun Reckless, hurt and lost just like I used to b And the shackles of the past, that never once set me free And it seems so easy But you don't know the real me And on broken Ivory, I beg you please forgive me And to find my way home I beg you stay, tonight If you just wrap me with your hands of gold, so tight And I, have to say I wish it wasn't meant to be this way When you're so close and I'm so far away I'd swim a thousand oceans, just to see you smile But I never want to come close to see you cry A puzzle of a million pieces, I've become And maybe one day I'll be back to one
