Heart beat, repeat.
Nothing around but the sound of music in the background.
Such a shame, no one to blame.
No one to be found, not even crickets make a sound.
My shadow's even gone, its been way too long.
These dreary nights spent alone, waiting for your reply by the phone.
All I have is your memory, here in my mental registry.
I still remember when we danced, even though you said its way to fast.
I'll try not to let go, no matter how hard you throw.
But alas it's just me, and my memory.
One I can not erase, nor can I replace.
Wouldn't want to, even if I could do.

Like a fantasy,
the more you read the more you want.
Like saltwater,
the more you drink the more thirsty you get.
Like sports,
the more you practice the better you get.
Like a pet,
the more you nurture it the bigger it gets.
Like a dream,
the more vivid the more you like.
Like a storm,*
the stronger it gets the more it destroys.

I will not stop nor will I cry.
I will not give up nor will I shy.
I will not be angry but I will show what I can do.
I will leave for a while and come back anew.
I will not be sad nor will I be blue.
I will make you cry for the mistakes that you do.
I will laugh a sad laugh, and cry a happy cry.

What would my life be like without me.
Where would I be if I didn't exist.
Where would I be if time had stopped.
Where would I be if life was not so blurry.
Where would I be if there was no destiny.
Where would I be without this misery.
Where would I be without my insanity.
Not here obviously.

this strange heart of mine
oh how I wish it was mine
to control, ahead on its own
gives me dreams of the lone
one that broke my heart
without a word, but it hurt
so long ago that I've gone numb
never was the day I thought I'll be having them
dreams of her in my arm
swaying me with her charm
but now I'm another's man
to stay with her is my plan
but the dreams of lost love are pulling me back
to the one that has turned this heart black.
