Time Heals
When will that deafening silence stop
When will the gnawing craving disappear
And the pointless waiting stop
Is it a crime to have loved
Must I pay for having given freely
Must I be punished for having believed
Must I do time for having been so naïve
I was whole I felt great I thought I had it all
Then I met you
And that was the beginning of the end
Now I feel empty lost and in pain
If time heals it doesn’t heal fast enough
And all for a few precious superficial moments
For a short ride on the sea of illusion
