yes when I'm alone i do great things
i do spectacular things that no one ever sees
when i am alone i dare to dream
dream up a life that even i would believe

because i can feel the marks from your tears
i can tell you need something greater
even after all of these years
of being your own dictator

so i dream up a time
a place for you and i
where the hours dont mind
and we can be ever so shy

because i can feel your need
for something that believable
I've witnessed your eyes plead
for something this inconceivable

you want someone to digest your thoughts
and feed you sides of romance
the kind, that never rots
and happens only by chance

so i consume your phrases
and prepare a feast for you to hide
a place for all my praises
somewhere you can abide

because i can feel your pain
as i watch that grin take its place
you're holding on like drops of rain
and its written all over your face

afraid to let yourself fall
in fear that you might splatter
but then again aren't we all
for then we'll cease to matter

so i kidnap your heart
which the others think so eternal
and i watch you fall apart
into me, like your journal

your fragile little being
somehow capable of lies
no one ever seeing
the beauty in your eyes

because all of this i know
how it feels to not be real
to wear your expressions for show
and let the backseat take the wheel

but now that i can feel you
and see that you're the one
just what the hell am i supposed to do
since the battle has already been won.
