As I sit in the lonely room
A confused and trapped abandoned soul
Tryin so hard to capture a moment
But tonight I don't really know
With a pen as my mediator
And this bottle as my only friend
I count the falling tears as they fall before my eyes
Estranged am I
Talking to myself when nobody's home
While this bottle of vodka's still lodged in my head
I'm edging and creeping to get myself out of bed
As I turn the page to carry on the epic tales of life
I'm still stuck in the words of the last chapter
I guess everyone has something they never wanted to leave behind
And sometimes it's the one regret that grows with the passing of time
Each night as I go to bed I keep thinking about love
The truth and what you mean to me
And the truth is
I never wanted the stars
I never shot for the moon
I like them right where they are
All I ever wanted was you
Now I look in the mirror
And all I see
Is a yound old man
With only a dream
I keep trying to figure out
How , when , where and why love keeps going away
Trying so hard to demolish every thought of you
But the thing is I keep hearing you talkin softly
It seems I can't escape the ghost of you
It just makes me so mad cause I wanted it bad for us baby
And now it's so sad that whatever little we had
Sometimes feel like it just ain't worth savin
Since the last time I saw you
I've been wishing for one more day or one more night with you
Just one more chance to see your face under the moonlight
And now that you're gone , I can't cry hard enough
Nor can I find the words to say
That I still think about you each day
Last night with a tightly clenched fist
I gently french kissed the night as I lay myself to sleep in this bed alone
That night the craziest dream crept it's way into my sub-concious
I was being granted a wish for anything
I didn't ask for diamonds or gold
Cause i kept thinking of how much I wanted you to hold
I didn't ask for a covergirl from California or Malibu
All I asked was for one more day with you
Just one sunset to get lost in your eyes
Or just one night to run my fingers through your hair
To embrace your lips and hold you near
But then again all that would do
Is make me wish for one more day with you
All of this is just a dream within a dream
For I have looked beyond the horizions of my mind
And another day of being with you can't be seen
Maybe when the snow comes down in June
Or maybe if ever the sun orbits the moon
Might be the next time I see you
Somehow those sweet words you whispered didn't mean a thing
I guess our song was over before we began to sing
My life is an enigma in which no one can decipher
But somehow your shimmering light traveled to depths of the dark abyss of my heart
And encrypted into it , memories that time just won't fade
Now you've left me
And I have nothing , not even a photograph
I should've seen it when the roses died
I should've seen the end of my summer in your eyes
Should've known when you said see yah around
You really meant goodbye
Now this candle I hold is flickering to out
But extinguishing it's flame is filled with doubt
Wondering if to keep my love lit and shining bright
It's a painful battle , it's a painful fight
Sometimes moving on can feel so wrong
Because sometimes when you truly love you have to hold on
But sometimes to truly love , you have to let go and let be
For knowing you are happy where you are
Means the world to me
Now I must finish battling my inner demons
The ones that let me hold on to something that is not
Now as my broken heart lies bleeding
I realise true love is suicide
I'm going to have to make it throuhg
With or without you
Now as I turn away and close my eyes
Cause I can't face the truth staring at me
As I leave without a prayer or a hope for a kiss goodbye
I whisper in a silent sigh
I never wanted it to die
