"Soul"

For a while reality doesn’t exist
She slips back into her memory
Her own memory
It hurts her to know those days are over
And it fills her with hope to know new ones will begin

She doesn’t understand why she knows things
She doesn’t get why she’s the chosen one
Always the chosen one
But if she had the chance to change it
You know she wouldn’t do it, not a chance

And she looks into her mind to see him
And she prays to God to have a second chance
Everything she knows says it’s alright
But everything she stood for’s been knocked down

She walks into a corner store near her home
And she can’t help but remember the day
The best day of her life
She runs her hand over a blood red rose
And she prays she’ll have a reason to do it again

She goes back to the place where it began
And now it doesn’t hurt her anymore
He’s healing her pain
It only gives her strength to go there
And it only breaks her heart to have to leave

Well she lays down her head to cry
But she takes up the stage curtain to dry her eye
A lot of people wonder why she goes on (only hurtin’ herself)
They don’t understand that
With everything she does she’s healing her soul
With every step she takes she’s mending her heart
You can touch her
But be careful
She’s more fragile than she’s ever been before, oh--

In her mind reality doesn’t exist
And it’s not because she’s lettin’ go
No she ain’t lettin’ go
She’s an optimist and she can finally let it show
Her voices and muses say she’s alright

A blood red rose calls out her name
She goes to it, caresses it so gently
She’d never wanna hurt it
She closes her eyes so she’s able to walk away
And she shakes her head and prays to God again

This is my soul
This is my soul (oh)
This is my soul (whoa-)
This is my soul
Don’t cry for me
‘Cause I’ll cry for you
I don’t need your tears
‘Cause I’m quite alright
‘Cause this is my soul
This is my soul
Whoa-
This is my soul
Ooh--
This is my soul...
