Standing in the spotlight - it's hard to see the truth My time had come to trust someone Behind my back they knew Never saw it coming - but my world came crashing down They gamble on your future - play the coldest game in town What I've lost in a lifetime Mistakes it's made me see What's still in my heart They can't take that away from me Beyond all my frusration - there's a fire deep inside It's been there since I started - I got nothing left to hide As I climb the stairway - for a piece of higher ground This time I'm looking straight ahead Cause it's dangerous looking down Like a fool I'd been waiting - until you came along You made a blind man see Your love made all the difference And nobody.... can't take that away from me What I've lost in a lifetime Mistakes it's made me see What's still in my soul They can't take that away from me
