Have you ever shared the darkest secrets of your soul And the person you told just shied away?   Did you assume it would happen Because those secrets you felt you should not say? You go out on a limb and hope they'll accept who you are Inside you knew it was hopeless But you still had faith in that wishing star    You sit and wait for their response but the silence is icy cold You wish you could take it back But your soul you've already sold Your heart sinks and your eyes grow heavy, but you refuse to cry Because in your mind your pointlessly waiting For their compassionate reply   The hurt and pain is unforgiving and you've lost all aspiration Your head is hollow and your heart is numb They trampled all inspiration How can you love yourself if no one has ever dared? You just want to be yourself, to share yourself with someone But you learn they've never truly cared You know you'll be rejected, because you've rejected yourself many times So you try to vent your pain   By converting it into rhymes But inside your soul is lonely, and in a dim corner it weeps Within the demons are prying and no one ever sleeps

The Lone Rider
Have you ever shared the darkest secrets of your soul And the person you told just shied away?   Did you assume it would happen Because those secrets you felt you should not say? You go out on a limb and hope they'll accept who you are Inside you knew it was hopeless But you still had faith in that wishing star    You sit and wait for their response but the silence is icy cold You wish you could take it back But your soul you've already sold Your heart sinks and your eyes grow heavy, but you refuse to cry Because in your mind your pointlessly waiting For their compassionate reply   The hurt and pain is unforgiving and you've lost all aspiration Your head is hollow and your heart is numb They trampled all inspiration How can you love yourself if no one has ever dared? You just want to be yourself, to share yourself with someone But you learn they've never truly cared You know you'll be rejected, because you've rejected yourself many times So you try to vent your pain   By converting it into rhymes But inside your soul is lonely, and in a dim corner it weeps Within the demons are prying and no one ever sleeps
