Through the Years

I took it all as true
Through the years
I savored every drop of you
Promises and lies ignite the fire
Through the years
{I believed in you, I believed in you
Through the years

I pity all the pretensions of you
Muddled words of you
I'm no longer fooled by your disguise
Through the years
Through the years
My body was porous

Too many a trusted word was said
I'm sorry that you are

I believed in you and I wonder, wonder why}
Through the years of joy and laughter
Through the years of love and loving
The flames alight and lick at my ear
Of tears and sadness, of hope and heart
Now I wonder my way
Ooh, you blinded me with all your light
Through the years
Through the years
And now I start anew, I wish my way
And I wonder why I believed in you
Through the years

I wish I could see now
Through the years
So that I can only hear

Of hurt and healing, falling apart
