loneliness wrapped me in a cloak of sorrow
the pain is always there tomorrow
the hurt that's left will fall, of a petal
why is darkness a face touched with a nettle

am i the only one not happy?
do all lovers who hold hands look at me?
did he leave because of me?
could i do more to make him be?
and when the sun shines will i see the beautiful face that took from me?

chorus
and all we had has gone and turned to ashes
and all we could have been has disappeared
the love i gave has gone won't return
and you just never really cared

i so felt the love that won't return
and i wonder did you really care?
i sit with the light of a candle
a blade so cold sits beside me
soon no more pain friend tells me
the numb flesh will soon let me go

do all who love feel life is ending?
do lovers keep pretending?
are lonely people very happy?
can a shadow keep company?
i love him more each passing day

chorus
