The Window

I’ve been staring out the window all night long But I don’t know what it is I expect to see Maybe I will see myself walking, happy, Down the street, where I can cross to the other side But the street is empty And there’s nothing but the falling leaves So I look back inside now Where I try to forget That the world outside is not so cold And the emptiness inside me Is the only feeling that I know And I cry… I’ve been living with the pain of a love gone wrong When inside I know that love seems so damned right So tell me that you just don’t love me, it’s better Than saying that you love me But we can’t put it back together The shards that are so broken You should know, I’d give anything To have the chance to make you see That I’m not the one who hurt you Look at me, don’t you see who I am? But the silence here is deafening I know I must forget you But don’t know why… So I sit here by my window looking out Watching life just pass me by while I sit alone I look for something to move me, distraction But all I see are falling leaves As they land and scatter I know the breeze that blows Because I feel it in my soul And it’s cold and so unyielding Blowing across the street So I cannot cross to the other side Still, I keep looking And I cry…
