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
