I can see you,
Does that mean I surrender?
I can feel you,
Now I'm starting to remember.
These feelings we have inside keep us from falling down.
They keep our feet upon the ground.

How can you do this?
I can't believe I was so wrong.
One minute I'm your best friend.
The next you're stabbing my back.

How can you do this?
For a while I didn't think we'd get through it.
Now I can't sleep at night.

I know they can't hold us down...
I know you can't hold me down.
No, I won't surrender!
I remember what you said to me.

I'll make you regret every tainted memory.
I'll make you forget you could ever love me.

I can see you,
Does that mean I surrender?
I can feel you,
Now I'm starting to remember..

&quot;Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind.&quot;

It's a song I'm working on. It's kind of hard to get the music for it though.

&quot;...If the Thames that ran beside them...recalled a night where the moon shone as brightly as a shilling on the same boy and girl... and thought to themselves, &#039;at last, the wheel comes full circle,&#039; they kept their silence.&quot;
