Deja Vu

You've been with me throughout my life
I took it for granted and wondered why
things just weren't the same
Took some time to feel the pain
Took some time to bear the shame
Until I felt the same
Then I'd feel it again

Deja Vu
How can you say the truth can be untrue?

Out of the darkness an answered prayer
I'd call your name and you would be there
Companions are so rare
Born together to walk in the light
Same commitment, a different plight
I was blinded by my sight
Oh how can I make it right?

Deja Vu
How can you say the truth can be untrue?
Learning to play the game
of life can be filled with pain
But we cannot sit and marvel at the view
until we can see it through

Second time around again
Broken spirits are harder to mend
I said you'd always be my friend
When we'd compete just emptiness I found
With shattered dreams my world tumbled down
Alone I fell to the ground
Then your forgiveness I found

Deja Vu
How can you say the truth can be untrue?
Learning to play the game
of life can be filled with pain
But we cannot sit and marvel at the view
until we can see it through

I lost touch with what I always knew
That's when I needed you
