Cold   Lying in my bed

staring into darkness

Lost   I hear footsteps overhead and my thoughts return again

Like a child who's run away and won't be coming back   time keeps passing by as night turns into day

I'm so far away and so alone

I need to see your face   to keep me sane   to make me whole

Try to stay alive until I hear your voice   I'm gonna lose my mind

Someone tell me why I chose this life   this superficial lie   constant compromise  endless sacrifice

Pain   It saddens me to know the helplessness you feel

Your light shines on my soul while a thousand candles burn

Outside this barren room the rain is pouring down   the emptiness inside is growing deeper still

You're so far away and so alone

You long for love's embrace  to keep you sane  to make you whole

Try to stay alive until I hear your voice   I'm gonna lose my mind

Someone tell me why I chose this life   this superficial lie   constant compromise   endless sacrifice

Moments wasted   isolated   time escaping   endless sacrifice

Moments wasted   isolated   time escaping   endless sacrifice

Over the distance we try to make sense of surviving together while living apart

Striving for balance we rise to the challenge of staying connected in spite of circumstance

All you've forsaken and all that you've done so that I could live out this undying dream   won't be forgotten or taken for granted   I'll always remember your endless sacrifice

Moments wasted   isolated   time escaping   endless sacrifice

Moments wasted   isolated   time escaping   endless sacrifice
