Risk of Love

Do you remember all the moments
Every word we said
Do I still mean so much to you
Or to you am I just dead
Did I really mean the world to you
Or was it just a fake
Is love a game, a joke, a trade
That we give and take away

Do you think about me the way you did
Or have those thoughts passed away
I still can't help but think about you
Every single day
It's the way you'd cry
You'd laugh
You'd smile
It was the way I held your hand
Moments that we spent together
Now footprints in the sand

Will you let this love all go
Just simply wash away
When the tide comes in and the moon hangs low
The footprints fade away
Is this a love worth fighting for
Do you really care?
Was it all a game
A masquerade
A reason to dress up and fix your hair

Wasn't it love that we started with?
Did we lose it along the way
When the tides came in and we let go
The footprints began to fade
If you cared, then you'd protect the sand
We worked so hard to shape
Is this a love worth fighting for
Or is it just a game

We jump, we leap, we hope to soar
We wish to God to fly
A love that is worth living for
Is also worth your life
Love is a cry, a touch, a word, a jump
You have to risk the fall
If love doesn't mean anything to you
Then it isn't love at all

The days go by, my life moves on
Now I can barely stand
I turn around and remember
All our footprints in the sand.
I wonder if the risk was worth it
As I lie here on the floor
But if you don't risk everything
You're risking even more
