The Love We Keep

A Poem by thundershine

A song.

Verse1: Here in this crowded room/I see many faces smiling back at me/but they're all fake/they're all fake/here in this crowded room/they're all cheering for me/but with every breath I take/I feel my heart ache/oh it aches/

Verse2: What is fame and fortune if you're not here with me/so many people screaming my name/but yours is missing/it's missing/I look out on all the strange faces/but see only yours/I see only yours/

Chorus: What if I gain the whole world/and lose my soul/all these material things I can't take with me when I go/on my death bed as I lie ready to sleep/all that matters is the love we keep/yeah the love we keep/

Verse3: On the road again/going from city to city/trying to fill my time to stop thinking about you/but every spare moment you creep in/yeah you creep in/what is the meaning of all of this success if we can't share it/yeah we can't share it baby/

Chorus:What if I gain the whole world/and lose my soul/all these material things I can't take with me when I go/on my death bed as I lie ready to sleep/all that matters is the love we keep/yeah the love we keep/

Bridge: Right here right now/in this moment/all I want is for you to be proud/right here/right now/in the present/all I want is for you to hold me now/yeah just hold me now/
