Why is it dark when I’m alone,
And where do tears come from?
Why do the stars hold me close,
When I’m running from the sun?
Laughter fades like winter snow,
And I slowly slip away,
Into the waiting arms of twilight,
That keep me so afraid.
Where are the answers that I need,
Yet never seem to find?
Why do I fall like crashing waves,
And feel so left behind?
What’s so wrong with pretty songs,
And holding hands with you?
I wish that I could taste the pain,
That makes you shine so true.
I long to drink the tears that fell
From someone just like me,
And kill the lies that make us cry,
For a heart that longs to weep.
