Why you have waited all these years certainly puzzles me
To summon your memories of the past
Is there a possibility that you never truly revealed
The feelings that you wore under your mask

Or have you now found the independence that you clung to
To be too cold when you lay down to sleep each night
Now that your wandering heart is tired and no longer restless
You want the love that you let go back in your sight

I seem to recall, you never had any fear of being lonely
Of growing old with no one there to hold your hand
Now I wonder as I stand and look at your smiling face
If you were just afraid to lose command

For years on end, your memory haunted special places
Deep inside this loving heart that you broke
How can you expect me to understand and extend my hand
I am so sorry, but I am laughing at the joke
