Here I lay another night
Another day, all alone
Just my tears and I
I am but a lonely heart

Here I lay tears
runnin’ down my souls cheek
My heart beatin’ so fast
Unable to breath
with the tears that are loose

Here I lay so all alone
no one to hold me
No one to love

I am but a lonely heart
Cain you feel my emptiness
Cain you feel my pain?
Cain you taste these tears
that escape from my heart?

Here I am all alone
I feel like a bride standin’ before the whole world
Confessin’ my love
For a shadow that I imagined
Yet he never shows

Who am I to believe ?
Who am I, but a dream to myself
My love shines brighter within my heart
but the love I await for never shows
Never acknowledges that I exist

Who am I to believe?
I am no one
As it seems , no one cain see me
Only myself in my dream

I am but a heart, that loves what isn’t there
When will I wake up
From this dream?

Many say , I lived this dream a fantasy
of make believe, far too long

Maybe it’s time to wake up
As his shadow is all that it is
a shadow cast down from the moons beam
of a heart i wanted so badly to be real
a vision only my heart seen

a touch only i felt, of tender arms wrapped around me
perched on a silver cloud
with a rainbow arched above

will you ever show?
A question I have asked many times before
do you know
how many times has my heart
has drifted off to sleep
with an illusion that turned my dreams into dust

Will a fallin’ star finally bring to me
A miracle I waited upon
for so long, Perhaps not

Because I am still so very much alone
