I’ll rip every memory apart to build a mask
Anything to keep the voices away
But the things they give me never seem to last
I just need something to fill the endless space
Something that will answer me
When I’m too afraid to ask
Because my emotions and I,
We’re no longer attached
And every feeling that I express
Ends up always getting trashed

But when I close my eyes to hide
From all the things that tend to hurt
I end up missing you so terribly
And it winds up getting worse
Because every sparkling rain drop
wouldn’t begin to quench the pain
Caused by this thirst

We fought through every barrier and found each other’s hearts
Not even separation could keep the two of us apart
You would call me when you were lonely
And you’d say, “Baby, please come hold me.”
I’d do anything I could to heal the scars

Think of everything you have that holds a meaning
And consider how you’d feel if it were gone.
Although you can’t do much to stop this
There is nothing you could do that would be wrong
But you can play another love song
Through her barred up bedroom window
And hope that she will sing along
Instead of screaming into her pillow
And in the end she’ll remember how it felt to fall in love.
