Do you see the tears of a rose
Can you feel the empty heart of a leafless elm...

Even when I'm far away
I won't forget you never...

She looks out her window
As the shadows close in around her...

Little girl you cry there's something wrong
I look around and you're alone...

Gazing across the cracked plains of my soul
I see a mirage of the person I used to be...

It began as just a runny nose
And a tickle in my throat...

On a cold winters night
The rain pouring down...

Unspoken words we should have said
Why wait until lonely ones are dead...

There has always been an emptiness
A need that I never was able to fulfill...

Tomorrow's promises remained in yesterday
Faded words she once meant yet not enough to stay...

When happiness is just a dream
In memory's distant past...

Soft breath on my face yours only in sleep
Warm hugs from your arms bring comfort to keep...
