Close

I’m dwelling through dark places  -
empty and alone.
I’m searching through hollow faces  -
to find the one I know.
I look around  -
I want to run…
	I want to make you believe!

I’m still standing before you  -
time races on.
While looking onto my eyes  -
do you look right through me?
I reach out  -
begging for your love…
	my heart is dying before you!

I’m crying outside in the cold  -
small and unworthy.
Do you even see me?
Do you even know me?
I want to give it all to you!
yet… I can’t make you love me…
	but I will lay down my heart!

		Let’s stop talking...
			just hold me close...
