                                               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
                      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...
