I lie awake at night, wondering why.
Why you don't care, why you made me cry.
You can't understand the way I feel.
It feels now as though, my heart will never heal.
Live you life to love, and let it soar, and
Love as though there's nothing left to live your life for.
My tears for you just seem like a waste of my time.
But loving you, with no return, seems like an unjust crime.
This depression I was feeling, lies deep within,
Like the last Christmas cookie, on the bottom of the cold, dark tin.
The gloves are off, my tears have taken control.
I should retake my heart, for which you cruelly stole.
For some reason my heart still yearned for you.
I don't know why, but I hope you got the clue.
These words can't explain how much I cared,
But unless you try, those feelings will no longer be there.
I thought I wouldn't get over that pain.
But like an answered prayer, this angel cleared the rain.
The day was oh so dreary, and I was none but weary,
But I found that angel who can hear me!
So many things in common, from thoughts of love to God.
I think I've found someone to help replant the sod.
My pain and tears are what made that grass die,
But to say I have no feelings for you, would be a lovers lie.
My dream has changed, my heart has closed the door.
I no longer sit and cry, and wonder why, out on that empty floor.
Her hand grasped mine and helped me to my feet.
With her caring voice, she's helped me decide, my cares of you to delete.
