Jealousy sparks
That horrid green monster
Making me wish
It was me, not her.

She snuck in
Right under my nose
I had thought
I'd be the one.

I can heal your heart
If you'd let me try
I'm better for you
Even you know that.

She doesn't understand you
And she never will
Especially on the level
That we know each other.

So once she's gone
And out of your life
I beg for the chance
To make you smile.

Promise me one thing
When she leaves
Say you love me
And I'll prove my love for you.

A friendship blooms
Times are great
But the years
Tear it away.

Years roll by
And still no word
I think of you
But you're lost.

Left with a memory
And even that's slipping
Will I ever see you
Or hear from you again?

Then one day
A message comes through
You never forgot
The good times we had.

Things have changed
But some remain
I'm stuck here
And you there.

An offer is placed
And will forever stand
Come back, my friend
I miss you so.

Once again
We lose touch
And I long to hear
You call my name.

A year passes
And I give up hope
I've thought of you
Throughout the year.

Once more
I hear word
You're still alive
My heart rejoices!

Please, my friend
Do not stray
From my life once again
I need you here.

My previous offer
Is still standing
Pack up and leave
To be with me.

Times are tough
And friends are few
But I'm still here
And I'm still true.

Sneaking in the dark
She won't make a sound
Terrified of the others
Afraid that she'll be found.

She's forbidden to leave
Forever made a slave
Praying for salvation
Will she be saved?

No one to rescue her
Or come to her side
She weeps silently
The only sound is the tide.

Running faster now
She's almost to the door
Everything's gone black
As she falls upon the floor.

They drag her back
And lock her in the room
Once again she's alone
And faces her silent tomb.
