richard cortez - warrior

warrior

nothing comes easy
i guess that's life
i guess they're right
the critics and the cynics baby
they say love don't last
they say it's a fad
for the modern day hippie baby
well, i don't wanna be just another message on your machine...
so pick up the phone please
i'm begging on my knees

i know this is coming at the worst time...
i know that you have all your ducks in line...
well, you've got your dreams babe and i have mine...
but i'm falling for you...
as we're saying goodbye
as we're saying goodbye...

yet, i feel i can trust you with my heart
my fragile heart
you handle me with such precision
the things that you say stay with me all day
as i marvel in the great division
of you and me
as we fall asleeep
and the mattress creaks everytime
you pull at the sheets
reaching for something
only your wildest dreams could describe

i know this is coming at the worst time...
i know that you have all your ducks in line...
well, you've got your dreams babe and i have mine...
but i'm falling for you...
as we're saying goodbye
as we're saying goodbye...

i'm holding my breath
so i can take it all in
the last time you touch me
the last time you touch me
because i never want it to end
the last time you hold me
the last time you hold me
so i just bite down hard and slap on the grin
the last time i see you
the last time i see you
because there's really no use to pretend
the last time i breathe you
the last time i breathe you
in...

so, i keep on singing
singing songs about love
because i don't care what people say
about my choice of words
or lack there of
sometimes i wish people would just go away
because my heart's a warrior
and so in my song
and i'll scream it at the top of my lungs
until the war is over
until you are gone
until you are gone...
