Tomorrow's promises remained in yesterday
Faded words she once meant yet not enough to stay...

There has always been an emptiness
A need that I never was able to fulfill...

Unspoken words we should have said
Why wait until lonely ones are dead...

On a cold winters night
The rain pouring down...

It began as just a runny nose
And a tickle in my throat...

Gazing across the cracked plains of my soul
I see a mirage of the person I used to be...

Little girl you cry there's something wrong
I look around and you're alone...

She looks out her window
As the shadows close in around her...

Even when I'm far away
I won't forget you never...

Do you see the tears of a rose
Can you feel the empty heart of a leafless elm...
