---

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 lie!

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!
