I wanted love and needed you
someone to help me make it through
to take away my loneliness
but you were just a dream in my reality
that I couldn't have or hold
you were never there waiting for me

I stood in the rains pouring cold
standing alone in the darkness
watching you just walk away
as I tried to find the words to say
just to make you want to stay
but there was nothing that I could do

I cried through the sadness
as you were just shadows on my wall
through the silence of it all
you could never hear me call
as I went on standing alone
with a heart turned to stone
filled with an emptiness
that will forever be my own
