Chasms open between us
Nightfall makes once light be dark
And winter settles in
All is barren, brittle, dead

So how?

Mountains are the life
Getting in between keeping you close to me
And rivers I cant swim
And when I tried, I'm swept away, I drown

So what?

And mask that I still wear
A disguise that if I see you
You won't recognize
That I still beat on the drum and sigh

So why?
Why am I still happy
Even though I know
When the light on the corner comes on
I know your with him
That you've forgotten all the lies you told to me
You've lost all your love

So why?
I guess I found a love of my own
A love I don't have to share
A love that has always been there
A love of life
Love for myself
