A Price To Pay

I still think of you everyday
My heart ache just wont go away
Your ghost will never leave my mind
But I have to leave you way behind
If I want to hold my head up high
And be the man I used to be

I still find traces of you 
When I close my eyes at night
Sleep comes, dreams awake
I watch you breathing deep
I hear your voice in my sleep
I turn but the wind is all thats there

A chance meeting on a wild beach
I thought love like this was beyond my reach
Bright stars remind me of that night
Conflict of heart put to test
Will my mind ever get some rest
A time together way to short

A trail of ashes in my wake
Precious dreams I did break
Broken rules, three souls must pay
A price to dear for innocence 
Turn away from a love felt right
My broken heart the price to pay

Had things been different from the start
Our souls together not apart
What things we would have seen
Every corner of this earth
Our eyes would gaze upon
Holding hands we'd see them all

The hardest thing I've had to do
Was break away from loving you
For two souls I must save
My broken heart the price thats paid
I close my eyes the last I see
Seeing you walk away from me
