Lost on the way to where? Don't know, path's unclear

You had to know it'd happen, you've sure been here before.

You can't pass thru the portal unless you've opened the door

Can't just ease into love, take it slow and protect your heart

Can't hold back a part of you, to lean on when the pain starts

Can't you learn to hold back a bit of yourself, and still keep it real

To put your faith in your good judgement, not "how good it feels"?

Brace yourself for the heartache, when she drops you flat on your face

Cause she's only playing with your love, you're a "rest-stop" in her race

When she's done with you she'll be gone, there you'll sit alone and lost

You gotta learn to protect your heart, keep it safe whatever the cost

You love the girl, and you want her, and your reasons are pure and true

That's good, my friend, but it means nothing if the lady doesn't want you

"Put it all on the line" and "risk it all", is fine when you are young and strong

But to put at risk, your heart, mind and soul right now can only be wrong

It takes so long for a tender heart to heal, and the pain will cut to the bone

It can shatter your world, squash your spirit, You're safer just staying alone

The lonliness that now drives you, and the empty longing for love that you hate

Could put your life in a tailspin send you whirling, right through hells front gate

Be careful, songman, go slowly, take care of your heart and watch what you do

The terrible longing for love can cut like a knife, but losing a love does too...

The most wasted day of all is that on which we have not laughed...
