I realized tonight
That I can't be what you need.
Even though I want to be that,
I suppose it's just not meant to be.

I'd give up tomorrow just to be with you today.

I thought you were going to save me, like the heroes you read about in romance novels. But that's silly, they only live on pages, not in real life.

I could walk away, and eventually I will. But I know you won't be coming after me.

For the first time in a while, I'll sleep without your shadow creeping into my dreams.

On nights like this
I think the sky agrees
Because while I stand in the rain
My tears you cannot see

I would never ask of you impossible things. So don't ask them of me; myself I cannot change.

Fall in love with me
Prove that someone can
Take away this darkness
Make it bright again

Too long have I suffered
Too long have I cried
No more will I thunder
The fight in me has died.

Holding my breath
Waiting to breathe
Taking a chance
Praying to dream
