One more day
I’d give a life, an age, I’d pay
To see you again
In your prime, so much potential,
Such a shame you ran out of time
Without a real goodbye
Without the answers
I can’t move on…
It’s too hard
Why?
There’s a heart within the stone,
Beneath the layers of rock, a soul
What people saw wasn’t you
You just found it hard to break through
I understand
But now I’m left with empty hands
I thought you’d be here to guide me
Now I’m left without you beside me
The only one
Who understood me, stood by me
Through the thick and thin
When patience wore thin, you were there,
You cared, without you I’m scared
I hate to admit it
I feel so human
So vulnerable
Susceptible
Why?
Those tears were bound to erode
That face, that beautiful mask of gold
What people saw wasn’t you
You found it so hard to break through
Your mask made good your escape
One of many in the masquerade
You thought she’d be there to hide you
But didn’t you know she was behind you
The whole time
There’s a heart within the stone,
Beneath the layers of rock, a soul
What people saw wasn’t you
You just found it hard to break through
I understand
But now I’m left with empty hands
I thought you’d be here to guide me
Now I’m left without you beside me
