Cold, lying in my bed   Staring into darkness      Lost, I hear footsteps overhead   And my thoughts return again      Like a child who’s run away   And won’t be coming back   Time keeps passing by   As night turns into day      I’m so far away   And so alone   I need to see your face   To keep me sane   To make we whole      Try to stay alive   Until I hear your voice   I’m gonna lose my mind   Someone tell me why   I chose this life   This superficial le   Constant compromise   Endless sacrifice      Pain, it saddens me to know   The helplessness you feel   Your light shines on my soul   While a thousand candles burn      Outside this barren room   The rain is pouring down   The emptiness inside   Is growing deeper still      You’re so far away   And so alone   You long for love’s embrace   To keep you sane   To make you whole      Try to stay alive   Until I hear your voice   I’m gonna lose my mind      Someone tell me why   I chose this life   This superficial lie   Constant compromise   Endless sacrifice      Moments wasted   Isolated   Time escaping   Endless sacrifice      Moments wasted   Isolated   Time escaping   Endless sacrifice      Over the distance   We try to make sense   Of surviving together   While living apart      Striving for balance   We rise to the challenge   Of staying connected   In spite of circumstance      All you’ve forsaken   And all that you’ve done   So that I could live out   This undying dream      Won’t be forgotten   Or taken for granted   I’ll always remember   Your endless sacrifice      Moments wasted   Isolated   Time escaping   Endless sacrifice      Moments wasted   Isolated   Time escaping   Endless sacrifice
