The Stakes Were High (text)
The Stakes were High.
Our Dreams were like a Lottery.
We Played High Stakes,
We Hoped We Would Win.
We Lived Our Dream,
Like it was all complete.
We Did Not Know
That we Had Staked Too High.
We Longed To Win,
To Complete Our Dream,
We Did Not Know That We had Staked
Too High.
In Our Darkest Days,
We Lived Our Dream,
I Stood By You,
You Stood By Me,
In Our Darkest days,
We Lived Our Dream,
Sitting Now Remembering
You, which I Always Do,
I Think Of Our Dream
As I Think Of You.
The Day You Went,
Is The Day The Dream Went,
I Had My Dream And
It Was All For You.
It's A Cruel World,
To Take One So Young,
You Lived On The Street,
You Died On The street,
It's A Cruel World,
To Take One So Young.
Its Not The Same
Being On My Own,
All We Wanted Was,
Our Own Home,
Its A Cruel World,
To Take One So Young.
They Say Time Heals,
I Disagree
My Heart Is Broke,
The Tears still Flow,
Every time I Think Of You.
People Wonder Why,
I Wont Let Go,
I Just Say,
Its Better Not To Know.
3 Short Years Was All We Had,
But Not 1 Minute Were We Sad,
We Made The Best Of, What We Had.
3 Short Years Was All we Had,
But Not 1 Minute Were We Sad,
We Made The Best Of What We Had.
You Were The Best I Ever Had.
