your words are lost in the black of your eyes
the feeling you have, always deeply disguised
i look at you now, and i'm no longer strong
my walls crash down and i am gone
fragile and scared, tired and alone
but your heart is still carved of stone
no matter what we do, the dance is the same
step by step, i follow your rules to the game
each time a move closer, til you pull away
i can't understand why you won't stay
my emotions are frail and have never healed
no-one can see me, my soul long sealed
i'm empty and lost, with nowhere to go
then as you re-appear, i step from the shadows
