Think you're alone, you look around at people doing
Those simple things they say will keep this whole world turning
And no one notices, the pain that they can't see
You heart is broken, you have a voice but cannot use it
The fires rage, but even the coolest waters cannot sooth it
And did i ever guess, the final page of you would end like this ?
I often wonder had i seen you what would you have said
And to me that final chapter would you give

They say the best, are taken way before their time comes
Shadows inside, that hold their tortured soul to ransom
Infectious laughs, and the smell of that aftershave you wear
In secret places, on holidays by the sea, just you, me and the tortured shadows that you keep
In a safe place, so you don't have to put them all on me

Now 2 days passed, i'm sure i still hear that laugh
But memories fade, and time these days just moves so fast
I lay awake and wonder if you were ever even real
Once again, an advert on the tv station
War and peace, money please to save a nation
But save the haunted, its something that you never really see
All the time those shadows they just keep on laughing
And your body wonders what it would like to be free

I'll never think that was the answer
But i hope now you have peace
