Cold
Lying in my bed
Staring into darknessLost
I hear footsteps overhead
And my thoughts return
AgainLike a child who's run away
And won't be coming back
Time keeps passing by
As night turns into dayI'm so far away
And so alone
I need to see your face
To keep me sane
To make we wholeTry to stay alive
Until I hear your voice
I'm gonna lose my mind
Someone tell me why
I chose this life
This superficial lie
Constant compromise
Endless sacrificePain
It saddens me to know
The helplessness you feel
Your light
Shines on my soul
While a thousand candles
BurnOutside this barren room
The rain is pouring down
The emptiness inside
Is growing deeper stillYou're so far away
And so alone
You long for love's embrace
To keep you sane
To make you wholeTry to stay alive
Until I hear your voice
I'm gonna lose my mindSomeone tell me why
I chose this life
This superficial lie
Constant compromise
Endless sacrificeMoments wasted
Isolated
Time escaping
Endless sacrificeMoments wasted
Isolated
Time escaping
Endless sacrificeOver the distance
We try to make sense
Of surviving together
While living apartStriving for balance
We rise to the challenge
Of staying connected
In spite of circumstanceAll you've forsaken
And all that you've done
So that I could live out
This undying dreamWon't be forgotten
Or taken for granted
I'll always remember
Your endless sacrificeMoments wasted
Isolated
Time escaping
Endless sacrificeMoments wasted
Isolated
Time escaping
Endless sacrifice
