Standing alone in this purgatory
Staring through a gate to exaltation
I see through the bars a life that could've been
But I have to take a chance and turn my back away,
I can't look this time, I can't go back again
If I turn around I'll be right where I started.
This fighting inside has got to end
Fighting to never let go through thick and thin
Caught inside memories and yesterdays sins
Trying to imagine a world where everything is alright
Trying to put a face on a person who used to be
Trying to put a heart where it used to stay
But I've just been pursuing a pain, a dream, a memory
Engraved in my mind what was supposed to be,
Believed in something that was never there to see
Put everything on the line for an everlasting fantasy
I've been falling apart, barely standing
With a broken heart that's somehow still beating
Always caring more than enough
But never being cared enough about
So I have to wake up from this illusion
And leave those eyes full of confusion,
Taking one last look at the world I used to know
As I walk away, letting it all go...
