Heaven's Gate
Once we pictured heaven's gate and its marble halls
A million miles away from our existence
The voice of wisdom sat upon a plastic throne
It felt so good to be loved by God alone
Until one day our fantasy
Turned into a nightmare from a dream
Reality came crashing down
Broke our backs and forced us to the ground
When we met I was at heaven's gate
Then you took my hand and you led me off
You left me standing at heaven's gate
Hoping that the rights outweighed the wrongs
When your friends were there you had this painted smile
Put on a different costume every day
Your sweet synthetic laugh practiced to a tee
I wish you'd worn a mask for me
I've seen the life in all your scars
I'm the one who's seen you as you really are
And all these lights drown out the stars
Another broken song to rest my beating heart
When we met I was at heaven's gate
Then you took my hand and you led me off
You left me standing at heaven's gate
Hoping that the rights outweighed the wrongs
Once I wrote you letters that you never read
We haven't talked for a long, long time
A lot of things have changed but I can't forget
How I'd hold my breath as I waited for you to bring the end
And there are days that seem so long
Everyone thinks they're special but they're wrong
If I could find my way back now
Maybe you could pardon me somehow
When we met I was at heaven's gate
Then you took my hand and you led me off
You left me standing at heaven's gate
Hoping that the rights outweighed the wrongs
A million miles away from our existence
The voice of wisdom sat upon a plastic throne
It felt so good to be loved by God alone
Until one day our fantasy
Turned into a nightmare from a dream
Reality came crashing down
Broke our backs and forced us to the ground
When we met I was at heaven's gate
Then you took my hand and you led me off
You left me standing at heaven's gate
Hoping that the rights outweighed the wrongs
When your friends were there you had this painted smile
Put on a different costume every day
Your sweet synthetic laugh practiced to a tee
I wish you'd worn a mask for me
I've seen the life in all your scars
I'm the one who's seen you as you really are
And all these lights drown out the stars
Another broken song to rest my beating heart
When we met I was at heaven's gate
Then you took my hand and you led me off
You left me standing at heaven's gate
Hoping that the rights outweighed the wrongs
Once I wrote you letters that you never read
We haven't talked for a long, long time
A lot of things have changed but I can't forget
How I'd hold my breath as I waited for you to bring the end
And there are days that seem so long
Everyone thinks they're special but they're wrong
If I could find my way back now
Maybe you could pardon me somehow
When we met I was at heaven's gate
Then you took my hand and you led me off
You left me standing at heaven's gate
Hoping that the rights outweighed the wrongs
