I never thought I would fall in love again
I never thought I could write another page
I just felt tired and burned out
Another wash-out acted getting kicked off the stage

For some reason, I stopped caring
About life, about love, about anything
If I sit in my car and the radio is on some talk station, I just play
Or if it's on a music station, I just them sing

The only thing that matters
Is reaching my destination
And then to come back home
After I had completed my mission

My heart had turned to stone
And I had gotten used to being alone
Cold pizza in the fridge
And some brandy to warm up my bones

Sometimes you reach a stage in life
You just shut the past out
And if anyone tries to bring the past up
You would say " hey shut your big mouth"

I did love someone once
But that love just didn't mean to be
Wrong timing I guess
We both walk away hurting miserably

And If  broken hearts could talk
I wonder what mine would say
I bet it would make a phone call to her
Saying please come back home today

And I bet she would just let it ring
And pretend that she dont hear the phone
And she would say " that's good for the sucker
Let him be alone

Yes, that was the past
It's gone, it's over, and it won't repeat itself again
My heart is like a mountain now
No one can get in

That's what I thought
Now I met someone, just a casual friend
But she is so kind to me all of the time
I am thinking of her much more than I ever comprehend

But I don't want to feel this way
I don't want to open the gate
I am used to frozen dinners
And she is bringing hot lasagna on a plate

And now I am starting to doubt myself
I started back to write love poems
And in my heart, there is a storm of fire and ice
And from my experience, I know conflicting feelings can cause problems

And I don't want to give in to love again
I just can't take any of the drama it brings
Because I close the curtains on that show
Before the fat lady ever gets to sing

So now this wonderful person is confusing my every move
And every emotion that I buried deep to hide
Just like a boiling pot of chicken soup
She is bringing all the flavor of love to the outside

Yesterday, I even write a love song about her
Because I was thinking of her laughter and her smiles
And I sing it out loud in my heart
And I was hoping that you could hear it from across the miles

See, what I am talking about
Love is working its taboo around me again
And just like that guy in the movies with the umbrella
I am singing and dancing in the rain

And it's a frightening thing for me
It feels nice but bad at the same time
My future was cast in stone
And now this joyous stuff was playing on my mind

But I am not sure if this feeling is right
It's big a leap of faith
Sometimes relationships can ruin a good thing
And when you realize it, it would be much too late

And sometimes holding back your feeling
Can build a wall around your world
And it would be hard to break it down
Not even for a pretty girl

So, I think right now the best thing to do
Is to keep the fire burning
Enjoy the good thing we have going
Because every day there is a lesson in life that we are still learning

So I would put the brakes on this feeling
And ride the wave of our friendship
And if one day love gets to be too strong
Then I would just let our hearts deal with what It
