I've taken it through 
I've taken in stride 
The feelings I can't show are the ones I can't hide 

But they say if sorrow cuts through your heart 
'Til tou think it's going to tear you apart 
The more joy your heart can contain 
To fill up the space that remains 

Chorus: 

So I close my mind to the pain 
To find shelter from the falling rain 
So I close my mind to the pain 
To find shelter from the falling rain 
In your web I am entwined 
I'm lost in the thoughts that you left behind 
Until you come around again 

I'm waiting for your return 
I'm waiting while the candles burn 
I'm waiting for the hour to pass 
Need to know how long I can last 

You see I'm all for the giving 
But salvation has its price 
So I'm holding out with my fingers crossed 
Until this love turns to ice 

Repeat Chorus:
