lyrics

I had a love, and I thought it was good,
and it felt like it could be forever
It was the face that I wanted to see every morning and night,
maybe forever

And throughout the doubt there was always hope
And a faith that our love was bigger than all obstacles
And throughout the doubt there was always hope
And a faith that our love was stronger

But we had different concepts of reality
How we saw the world was shifting
and drifting apart were we

We had a love that was ancient and of a design that defied all the odds
It had entered our lives without pretension or pride
Simply letting us know it had found us

But the "we" couldn't grow when the fear to let go
Was disrupting the flow of our separate entities
And as hard as we tried, we had to sever the ties of this bond
So we could find freedom

We had different concepts of reality
How we saw the world was shifting
and drifting apart were we

I had a love, and I know it was good,
And it will stay with me forever
Sometimes in life you have to take a dive into hell
To find heaven within you

One day we'll meet on that mountain and see what it all was for
And it was worth it
One day we'll be that mountain and see
All the joy we created from sorrow
