Beauty And The Beast

I would gaze at the pieces stacked so carefully with love
from behind the closed shutters that were windows to your heart
I could not find a way to build a door to let me in
It was all because I couldn't throw away my selfish pride
There are things that I would rather leave unsaid,"
fear of opening a long forgotten wound.
There inside the castle that I built all for myself
it was filled with an emptiness so deep that I could drown

One day, suddenly, you appeared
you had everything I had ever dreamed to have
the bricks I stacked towered over you
but you stepped and you jumped and you went right over

It's sad how cold you have become, bet you were lonely all along"
scared to declare but you gave it a flare
to repair the affair of words that were really unfair

I would envy the pieces stacked so carefully with love
so meticulously folded one on top of the other
Locked inside a lonely castle that I built all for myself
And the doors I would close to hide away my selfish pride
There are things that I would rather leave unsaid,"
fear of losing every precious thing I had
Finally the King appears in his lonesome castle and
is amazed by his very first beautiful taste of love

"Spare me from your sympathy, 'cause I really doubt you would ever understand"
you bite and you fight and grab and you stab
but you managed to get what you dearly wanted in the end

I would gaze at the outer world so unified by love
but the one thing I failed to see was the most important thing
and my soul so familiar to the loneliness inside
glowered at the pool of sun as it collected at my feet
There are things that I would rather leave unsaid,
yes, I know that it's your way of showing love."
Quietly the King retreats into his castle and
the emotions threaten from inside his lonely heart

"There are things that I would rather leave unsaid,
hoping for a love that would never fade away."
Given only eternity to do what must be done
I will happily devote myself for the sake of those I love

"Open the door and step right, won't you stay a while,
and let yourself be loved..."

In the warmth hidden deep inside the shadows of your heart
lonely walls start to crumble in the castle you have built
and the days you have given up in search of your happiness
is the one thing that tells you not to give up easily

I will gaze at the passing world and scatter it with love
as the tears fall endlessly I watch you walk away
I'd gladly wait a thousands years if I knew that it would bring
us together again and we'd live happily ever after
