My Lonesome Shell

I noticed a difference in you that is oh so true
A kind of difference that is brand new, shining anew
You are the beautiful shade of blue
I keep on wishing upon a star to be with you 

I hear you calling me from afar...
How can I heal your gruesome scar?
I hear the thunder in your heart
How can I mend you when you're tearing apart?

I have grown accostumed to you 
But, you ignored me without a clue
I have grown attached to you as well
You got me out of my lonesome shell
You got me out of my lonesome shell
I have grown fond of you for many years
But, you deserted me and left me in tears

I see the light against the mountain tops 
I hear the splashing of many teardrops
The rain is pouring loud amongst the sky of blue
The insects down below are scattering about like morning dew

I hear you calling me from afar...
How can I heal your gruesome scar?
I hear the thunder in your heart
How can I mend you when you're tearing apart?

I have grown accostumed to you 
But, you ignored me without a clue
I have grown attached to you as well
You got me out of my lonesome shell
You got me out of my lonesome shell
I have grown fond of you for many years
But, you deserted me and left me in tears

I see the wind blow against the prairies
I am like a chandelier with dancing fairies
The sun is shining aglow in your eyes of ocean blue
The mammals up above are merrily frolicking so true

I hear you calling me from afar...
How can I heal your gruesome scar?
I hear the thunder in your heart
How can I mend you when you're tearing apart?

I have grown accostumed to you 
But, you ignored me without a clue
I have grown attached to you as well
You got me out of my lonesome shell
You got me out of my lonesome shell
I have grown fond of you for many years
But, you deserted me and left me in tears

I flee from the view of vanity and seek vitality instead frankly
I hear the lightning flash with much courageous creativity
The clouds are forming into shrouds of endless residue and debris
The birds high up above are joyfully singing a tune of liberty 

I hear you calling me from afar...
How can I heal your gruesome scar?
I hear the thunder in your heart
How can I mend you when you're tearing apart?

I have grown accostumed to you 
But, you ignored me without a clue
I have grown attached to you as well
You got me out of my lonesome shell
You got me out of my lonesome shell
I have grown fond of you for many years
But, you deserted me and left me in tears

You set fire to my soul 
I don't want to let you go 
You burn me to the extreme
You ruined my self-esteem
Let life's hardships take toll
I don't want to be so gullible
You drift away from my sight
You floated away like a kid's kite

I hear you calling me from afar...
How can I heal your gruesome scar?
I hear the thunder in your heart
How can I mend you when you're tearing apart?

I have grown accostumed to you 
But, you ignored me without a clue
I have grown attached to you as well
You got me out of my lonesome shell
You got me out of my lonesome shell
I have grown fond of you for many years
But, you deserted me and left me in tears

I want you near me to guide me to a peaceful haven 
I hold on to you so dear as I fly forward like a fearless raven
Heal me from the scars of yesterday 
Get rid of the sorrow of tomorrow today
I can't get a grip of myself anymore
All my fears and nightmares run out the door
I can't get enough of your hope in store
I still adore you to the core and so much more

I hear you calling me from afar...
How can I heal your gruesome scar?
I hear the thunder in your heart
How can I mend you when you're tearing apart?

I have grown accostumed to you 
But, you ignored me without a clue
I have grown attached to you as well
You got me out of my lonesome shell
You got me out of my lonesome shell
I have grown fond of you for many years
But, you deserted me and left me in tears

You have put me in flames
You're playing your mind games
How can you hurt me so carelessly?
How can you let go of me so heartlessly?
Yeah, yeah...
You ruined my pride and confidence
You tore apart my heart's desire in a sense
I don't want to be blind all my life
You and I face endless chaos and strife
