Hypnotized and Paralyzed

One night darkness surrounded us
Holding on tightly to each other and such
Yet our feelings for one another 
We still didn't trust
Even though there was love in our eyes
When we gazed into each others
You know the kind of love that has you hypnotized
Leaves your souls paralyzed
We still let the other go
The move I had made which made it all happen was bold
When your goodbye to me was told
My blood ran cold
Something about that night
Never was far from ever being right
You and I were meant to fit
Each and every little bit
Moving on is easier when you believe
The control you think you have over yourself will never leave
Was I ever fooling myself
You are the only one I could never really let completely leave my thoughts
You always told me stop having self doubts
Was with him for years
He caused me lots of lonely tears
And drowned me in lots of self doubt
Was never sure if I would ever be strong enough to get out
But I did and yet all that time
All those years had past by
And I found that you were the one still on my mind
Some people have said leave this alone
Go free be on your own
You can't go back
Some tell me give it all you got
Go on give it another shot
Time's to fragile to waste
Yeah we can't go back
From where we once were at
But I don't think we need to
Even if the feelings we had for each other may have been hiding for so long
It don't mean they are still not there as before
It don't mean they are still not just as strong
The love has always been there all along
We don't need to go back
Life is to fragile to waste
Together we can move forward
And at a much slower pace
We're older and wiser then years past
Back when we took things to fast
Slow it down and make it last
Once again we could have the darkness surround us
Holding on tightly to each other and such
This time in our feelings for one another we can trust
Let the love in our eyes take us once again by surprise
As we gaze and can't look away cause we're hypnotized
Our souls paralyzed
