I can't keep living this lie
that no one understands
i leave this world torn and empty
and when you see me lying there
you just leave me...
all alone.

I wish I could break out
shower down my feelings
unto you.
pour out every moment
I have spent thinking of you,
holding on to dreams.

But everytime I try to tell you
there's a linger in my trust
claiming you wouldn't understand
what am i to do?

I can't go further
delve into this lie
i can't control my feelings.
my heart is screaming for you
and i need you by my side.

All I wish is that you
could only feel this too
that when i seek for comfort
you'll be seeking me too.

But loneliness has beckoned me in
and i'm restricted...held in.
i can't escape the grasp of its hand.
