I got the windows closed
And the doors are locked
I sit alone inside this box
Staring at a spot on the wall
My body's here
But my soul is not
My heart it beats the loudest sound
The tear that lines my cheek
The only movement around
You, the only thought Crossing my mind
I see you smile and looking at me
I hear your voice calling my name
I want to touch you Take you in my arms
Hold you close and whisper in your ear
Tell you all the things
I wish you could hear
I wish I could take away all the hurt
And with it the pain
Wipe away the past and give you tomorrow
Make you happy here with me
I wish I could be everything
You could want of me
I know I'm dreaming and dreams can't last
I can only wish that when I wake up
Wipe away the tears
You will still be somewhere near
And when all is said
And the dust has cleared
My only wish is you
