Through the Years

This fever I have is because of you My body is blazing The flames alight and lick at my ear So that I can only hear Muddled words of you Through the years Too many a trusted word was said My body was porous I savored every drop of you I took it all as true Now I wonder my way Through the years Through the years Ooh, you blinded me with all your light I wish I could see now Promises and lies ignite the fire And I wonder why I believed in you Through the years Through the years Through the years of joy and laughter Of tears and sadness, of hope and heart Through the years of love and loving Of hurt and healing, falling apart {I believed in you, I believed in you I believed in you and I wonder, wonder why} I'm no longer fooled by your disguise I'm sorry that you are I pity all the pretensions of you And now I start anew, I wish my way Through the years Through the years Through the years Through the years Through the years
