All That Remains

So here you stand
where very few stand
where very few have stood
not because they weren't strong
but because of a song
a love song
a sad love song 
it caused them so much pain
that their efforts died in vain 
in fact it changed their state of mind
to the point where they didn't mind stating
the fact that they had enough
even after knowing it was going to be rough
and knowing they were suppose to be tough
they had enough
so here you stand

where very few stand
hoping love still lives 
but if you open the door
and find out love doesn't live here anymore
what would you live for
it is better if you never cared
that way you could just like
meanwhile your heart's on strike
your feelings would be spared 
and  you would never be scared
you would never know pain
except the pain of never knowing love
is that what you have planned 
it's not
so here you stand
where very few stand 
ready 
still healing 
but willing 
unlike any other
because you're a lover
you're a fighter
and you fight for what you love
that's why the light from up above
and the light inside you 
are there to guide you
love sustains 
always
even if you're all that remains
