a shot rings out in a crowded place
while hundreds run out of fear and disgrace
a lone man stands to see the look on my face
as i fall into dust and despair
wondering why he found me there
finally i see
what he meant for me
never thought it true
hoped he'd love me too
there was a time my heart held no fear
i was free to love, i was free to care
now as my soul finds the end is near
i have lost all my power to cope
as my heart drains of love, faith and hope
finally i see
what he meant for me
never thought it true
hoped he'd love me too
that fatal shot still rings as the light grows dim
and i think of how far i put my love out on a limb
now i fade away all because of him
and the bullet he shot through my soul
leaves a gaping and unmending hole
finally i see
what he meant for me
never thought it true
i hoped
he'd love me
love me
too
