Back To the Black

Only in thought can I hold you so dear
Only in dreams can I feel you so near
See you so clear
And pretend like you're here. 

But when I wake, 
I see the feelings so fake
And I just can't take 
The pain that it makes 

I wanna go back, back to the black
The black that makes pictures of things my life lacks
So please don't wake me, please let me sleep...
Because only in dreams are you mine to keep
