With every step that I took
I did everything I could
It is not easy as it looks
Just to end my solitude
Then I have come to realize
This prison before my eyes
Was built by my own emotions
When you walked out from my life

I knew falling in love with you
Will only be another mistake
It is something stupid to do
A stupid decision that I made
Falling for you was easy
It was never that hard
You took something from me
You came in and took my heart
I thought my heart was shackled
But it all broke when you came in
Now I follow you like a shadow
Wandering with you in the night
But you won't notice me
Because you are happy
With somebody else

If you look at the stars
How beautiful they are
That is how you are to me
You are the star that is bright
In the dark you gave me light
When I am ever so lonely
I've been talking to the moon
While I'm searching for you
In between all the clouds
It felt forever the night
When you were not in my sight
My head was filled with doubt
But the clouds slowly drift by
Erasing all of my doubts and fears
You were there so bright and clear
Now I have found you
All my wishes have come true
For all I want in life was you

You are like the star in my eyes
Shinning up there full of beauty
Sparkling along the dark skies
Your lights have got a hold on me
I'm now bound to take a glimpse
A glimpse of you as much as I can
You would appear only at night
At night I waited like your biggest fan
I know my limits as you are far away
I would pretend I'll catch you
And in my heart you will stay
How I wish that it was true
Though the fact that I know
Being together is very hard
As you have a limit of time
I could only be together with you
Only when it is already at night
I would have risk it all if I could
To be the star right next to you

It happens almost every night
Especially when I am alone
This battle I am having inside
Is slowly ripping apart my soul
I lay in bed but I am wide awake
Trying my best to fall asleep
But the problem is this heartache
That I could feel in so deep
I try to calm myself down
But I still have this struggle
When no one is around
Is the beginning of my battle

The sweetest lie I told myself
The lie was sweet as honey
I told myself I wasn't in love
Although I am going crazy
You are always in my mind
You are there all the time
Although I'm afraid to admit
I can't sleep nor could I eat
I only think about you
That is all I could do
My greatest fear that I know
Is that I'm afraid to be alone
But the worst thing than being alone
Is watching you leave outside my door
With somebody by your side
The moment when you left mine

My soul was tainted
By a touch of your hands
For you I buried hatred
As deep as I can
Even if it hurts me
I still kept it inside
It made me go crazy
That I cannot lie
I thought you were my forever after
The one I could waste my years with
But alas I was just your part time lover
And I had to watch you leave

Love is so confusing
You can love someone
Without them loving you back
And no matter how much it hurts
Your mind still won't change
Why is it hard to bury those feelings?
That have you spent your every tear
In the middle of the night
Why waste another minute
Thinking it could work
When you already know
That they have made up their minds
And they chose a path
Where they leave you behind

I am a temporary settlement
Of a heartbroken soul
They'd seek shelter by my side
When their world got cold
I'd provide the warm heat
To fix what has been frozen
Though it will take time
To mend the pieces which are broken
I'd keep you safe like you were mine
Under the roof when it's stormy
Though I'm starting to creek
This temporary settlement will end
Temporary love is not what i seek
I've fix the broken parts in a long time
But you left me in a few seconds
Thought that you would be mine
You left me like a hotel or an inn
You checked in when it's bad
You checked out when it's better
You'd just try to stay the night
And left me searching the next day
Forgetting you is what I've tried
This settlement walls seems to shatter
The temporary settlement shall close
I'd move on and do something better

Take me back to the green city
Where the concrete jungle exist
Surrounded by flowers and trees
Breathe in the fresh air
Let go the feeling of despair
Forget the memories that was grim
Just pretend that it was a dream
Life is much better than it seems
Behind these walls of concrete
Is one of the most beautiful places
That your eyes have ever seen

A man got tired walking in the night
He tried to find shelter and rest
He found a house above the hill
He came up to the front door
The night was quiet and still
Nothing much just a gust of wind
He knocked and the door slightly open
He came in and saw no one
The silence echoes in the chambers
The house fill with dust and cobwebs
Bugs and spiders they all scatter
In the halls and empty rooms
The portraits hang on the walls
The pictures gave eerie looks
He then heard a noise downstairs
He went down inside one of the chambers
It was filled with a piano and a few chairs
Suddenly the piano started to play a song
All the chairs started to move along
The man watch in much despair
He was afraid and have nothing to say
He took off out of the house right away

The greatest lie that I have made
Thinking it was not a big mistake
In my mind I thought it was fine
The emotions I never left behind
The emotions I have kept inside
Expose with nowhere to hide
The truth is caught in my eyes
But I still kept holding on to the lie
The untold truth is what I want
Those things I really can't deny

You could have seen it differently
Yes it is comfort that you seek
Once you're done you chose to leave
But as your broken heart mended
You choose to break another
And those pieces you stole
Are the ones they wanted

Here I am at this hour
Trying to rest my tired eyes
Tuck myself under the covers
With my eyelids shuts tight
But these never ending thoughts
Kept me awake from my slumber
These thoughts that never stop
Always makes my mind wonder
Throwing me in scenarios
What I thought would turn out
If we did not walk out the door
Where we did not break our vows
A thought were we were happy
One where we never fought
But there is no more you and me
What is left are just my own thoughts

I was amazed
By different countries
And their different states

I'd hop on a plane
Hitch a car or ride a bike
To be on a different land

I'd see architecture
that took my breath away
Made me hungry for more

I have tasted food
Different from my own
By different cooks

I would take photos
So whenever I am away
The memories won't be lost

Have you ever felt lonely?
Even in the company of others?
It eats you up deep inside
No matter how hard you try
It keeps coming back to haunt you
Especially in the middle of the night
You try to find comfort
But never found such solitude
And it still causes you discomfort
To think that you are lonely
Although you were never alone
Though it feels like you are missing something?
I'm still confused with this feeling

I took a step
Over the edge
To love you
Was my pledge
To care for you
For countless days
To never let go
Holding onto you always

The world is a war zone
I'm trying to survive it
In this world I am alone
Carrying only a shield
Trying to protect myself
I may dodge a bullet or two
Though the bullet that killed me
Was the one that was shot by you
I thought we both had it all
No secrets in between
I thought that you were my ally
You turned out to be my enemy
The war zone that is never ending
Has taught me never to trust
Anyone except yourself
Cause in the war we are fighting
There is always betrayal circling
Circling around waiting to strike
When it has the opportunity

We are all different
But in your eyes we are the same
We went through great days
We all bear the same pain
But if you think in such a way
Then you never knew what it is like
To starve on a cold morning
Or sleep by the roadside at night
To bear the sickness that is within
Because you can't afford medicine
Yes we are all different
So never assume it has been easy for all
Today you may rise above others
But mark these words
Someday eventually you will fall

We could have known
Right from the start
We were never alone
Except for our hearts
It feels like it's empty
Making us feel lonely
Though in great company
We still feel upset
I often wonder why
Why do we feel lonely?

I remember someone said
Words don't come easy
But words are all in my head
Though it is hard for me to say it
I have exchange words before
It was surprisingly easy
But when it came to you
My tongue is tied
I'm lost for words
Now I understand why
Words don't come easy
Especially saying it to a person you love

The exchange of words by both
I have taken some as oaths
I lay down my own demons
To honor the words spoken
May this feeling bound us
Taking us to certain places
May you also honor your words
So this feeling won't be a curse
This feeling could embrace us both
Started out with a word called love

I wished all the clocks have stopped
So I could enjoy my youth
With no burden or responsibilities
For me to think my actions through
Time never seems to wait
I felt the years have just gone by
I felt my body slowly getting weaker
In a blink of an eye
Soon my skin would be wrinkled
And my hair would turn white
Soon life will leave this body
And all it would be is just a memory

It is funny how you said it
That you were once complicated
I guess your words were true
Not the part 'I like you'
The part where you're a nightmare
And how many hearts you tear
Though you told me you have changed
All I see is you remained the same
When the world was against you
I stood by you to lift you up
Guess I was the fool to believed you
That you cared for me too
You left me when you are happy
You could not care less about me
But when you hit rock bottom
In my grace is where you come
You told me how much you miss me
Pulling me back to your gravity
The moment I thought that I was free

Twas an adventure at young
You had different types of love
Though they never did you wrong
Instead each of it taught you a lesson
One taught you to sacrifice time
To comfort a heart that is aching
One taught you to be humble
When you achieved something
One taught you to always be kind
Learn to love and be more caring
You started to explore yourself
Finding true meaning of love
Though love at first is reckless
No feeling ever came close
It is still in your heart as the greatest
For there is nothing that I wouldn't do
For a taste of love again in my youth
