With visions of you
I awoke from my sleep
Broken and sad
The memories I keep

You were my King
My love and my heart
We were thrown quick together
And quick did we part

I met you near christmas
Keyboard in hand
We talked about lonliness
We were both with no man

We met face to face
After days on the phone
Your smile was so precious
I felt I was home

We talked everynight
Our fondness it grew
You said how you loved me
And I loved you too

I felt in my soul
Trusting my heart
"He won't ever leave me,
Til death do us part."

But then so it happened
Coldness, I felt
You said how you loved me
So I blamed just myself

Confusion engulfed us
From your mouth to me
Friends, lovers, companions
I couldn't quite see

Truth finally rang
While the night air was cold
Finally saying
What had to be told

You said you wern't ready
I couldn't quite see
Til you lastly admitted
You didn't love me

My whole heart was smashed
Torn right in two
Nothing else matters
All joy was through

We abruptly stopped talking
The last thing in mind
Dreams were all shattered
But the truth I did find

And now in my life
Months after you
I bear deep long scars
My heart cold and blue

Why did you leave me?
I loved you so much
You lied to my face
Was I just some dumb crush?

But here I will sit
All chilled and alone
Still looking for someone
Who I can call home

He'll come in the night
And hold me real close
He'll show me real love
And repair my torn soul
