My tears are chained into my heart
And I can't find the key to let them go
My soul will never be free
So I sit here in my prison
And I can never walk away

I can't smile with you
And I can't smile without you
You're my sadness
My sunset
A beautiful end to a painful day

Maybe one day the Sun will rise
For me again
Or maybe this starless night
Will continue until I give up
And walk away...

Away from the sunrise...
Away from the stars that live in your eyes...
Away from the beautiful soul
That I have come to love
And to adore
Away from life
That now belongs to you

And so I am lifeless...
The personification of sadness
A statue, alone
Without a single tear
To cry away the pain

I will never be my own again.
