Way Back Into Love complete lyrics

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ce_DxJFdgM4


I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past
I just can't seem to move on

I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need them again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind


All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh

I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I've been searching but i just don't see the signs
I know that it's out there
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere

I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some direction
And I'm open to your suggestions

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end
Oh oh oh

There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love

And if I open my heart to you
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I'll be there for you in the end
Oh oh oh

in the summertime!

masks

don't be fooled by me. don't be fooled by the face i wear. for i wear a mask, i wear a thousand masks. masks that i'm afraid to take off and none of them are really me.
pretending is an art that is second nature with me. but dont be fooled for God's sake dont be fooled.

i give you the impression that i am secure, that all is sunny and unruffled with me, that confidence is my name and coolness is my game, and that i need no one, but don't be fooled by me. my surface may seem smooth, but my surface is my mask. beneath the mask is the real me...confused, frightened and alone. but i hide this. i don't want anyone to know it.

i panic at the thought of my weakness and fear being exposed, that's why i create a mask to hide behind a nonchalant, sophisticated facade to help me pretend, to shield me from the glance that knows. i know that such a glance is my salvation. i know that if it is followed by acceptance, if it is followed by love, it is the only thing that will assure me of what i can't assure myself...that i am worth something, that i am lovable.

but i can't tell you this. i don't dare.i'm afraid to. i'm afraid that your glance will not be followed by acceptance and love. i'm afraid that you will think less of me, that you'll laugh at me and your laughter would kill me. i'm afraid that deep down i'm nothing, that i'm nothing, that i'm no good and you will see this and reject me. so i play my desperate game with a mask of assurance on the outside and a trembling child on the inside. and my whole life becomes a mask.

i chatter away with surface talk. i tell you everything that is nothing and nothing of what is everything. but when i go through my routine, don't be fooled by what i am saying, please listen carefully and try to hear what i'm not saying, what i'd like to be able to say, what i need to say but can't.
