All We Need Is...

What happened to the innocence?
Is it buried in mistrust?
When there's too much pain inside
even the heart can rust

the layers of betrayal and
abandonment takes time
and even love can suffocate
the saddest of all crime

to forget how to trust
to forget how to love
to forget what life's about
and all we need is...
all we're dreaming of

when there's too much pain inside
the lips don't want to kiss
love becomes just routine sex
deeper sharing is missed

I can find a lover too
can even find a friend
security comes from deep inside
on that I can depend

but sincerity is rare
and trust is rarer still
honesty is all but gone
yet all we need is...
and I always will.

What happened to the innocence?
What happened to the trust?
What happened to the dream of love?
When did it go bust?

the layers of betrayal and
abandonment takes time
and even love can suffocate
the saddest of all crime

to forget how to trust
to forget how to love
to forget what life's about
and all we need is...
all we're dreaming of

when there's too much pain inside
the heart ceases to dream
life just goes through the motions
as sad as that may seem

and maybe this relates to you
sounds familiar or not
no one can remember what
they buried and forgot

but sometimes late at night alone
like a haunting refrain
something calls from deep within
and all we need is...
is it love or pain?

oh sometimes late at night alone
a glimpse of memory
almost comes back to my mind
all we need is...
will you sing it with me?
