if you knew, what i know, would you try?, before your time, has run on you, and worn you down, would you know, what you desire, in your heart?, if you knew, what i know, would you try?, is there time?, is there time?, to follow just one desire?, is there time?, is there time, to follow your heart?, dress your wounds, test your strength, face the night, crave the touch, feel the pain, know the signs, is there truth, in your pain?, you decide, if you knew, what i know, would you try?, is there time?, is there time?, to follow just one desire?, is there time?, is there time, to follow your heart?, as we lie, in the shade, of poison trees, are we as safe, as we let, ourselves believe?
