Why do I hold on to these hopeless dreams
Why do I torment myself with hopeless thins
Why do I set my hopes so high
when I know I'm just setting myself up to cry
Why do I keep hoping for something that's never true
something that will never be, no matter what I do
I'm tired of this life, tired of this pain
because in the end, I know there's nothing to gain
but I will stay in this tormented soul
for I am in love and to love is my goal
I want to be happy with the one I love so
so this I'll never tell, for I do not wish pain on him to bestow
I'll keep this secret and keep it well
until I hear death's cold calling bell
softly calling, whispering my name
then I'll know I'm done playing life's little game
So I leave you now, my troubles I'll keep
for I know now I'm destined to weep
So go ahead leave me alone and let me cry
go ahead leave me alone and let me die.
