<pre>I am bound by my pain
Tears fall down like the rain
Can't you see it's a part of me?
My whole life is incomplete
 
All alone
 
I am bound by my pain
Tears fall down like the rain
Can't you see it's a part of me?
My whole life is incomplete
 
Am I wasting all my time
Believing someone is waiting for me
Is it a dream or lie?
Sometimes life just passes by
Oh why?</pre>
 
=== Long Version ===
{{hide text|<pre>I am bound by my pain
Tears fall down like the rain
Can't you see it's a part of me?
My whole life is incomplete
 
All alone...
With no hope...
I cry out...
Make it all disappear


I am bound by my pain
Tears fall down like the rain
Can't you see it's a part of me?
My whole life is incomplete
All alone in the night
With no hope left in sight.
I cry out, can you hear?
Make it all disappear
Am I wasting all my time
Believing someone is waiting for me
Is it a dream or lie?
Sometimes life just passes by
Oh why?</pre>}}
