Beyond the Pain

Late night thoughts, lost in your shadow, yeah

Araceli, I gave you more than I could handle, more than I could find

Fell in love with you, lost in your eyes, I was blind

Love me when I’m broken, when I doubt my own reflection

Loyal to your memory, betraying my own protection

Be real behind my back, that’s the hardest truth to face

Said goodnight, stay up an extra hour just in case

Baby, I’m so selfish, want your love and only your grace

When you try to move on, I can’t erase

Looking forward to the future, past got me in pain

Hoping someday we can change, break free from this chain

Roses are red, violets are blue, I hope I never lose you Araceli

Over nothing, just feelings, but I still choose you

Honest words can hurt, but I’d rather pain than the lie

Keep it real with me, even if it makes us cry

Finding ways to heal, ‘cause without you I’m hollow

Hold on to love, ‘cause that’s the only thing I follow

Can’t feel the pain anymore, I’ve learned to heal through you

One day we’ll find a way, make it through, stay true

Until then, I’ll hold on, keep your spirit near

Waiting for the day we can wipe away the fear
