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's 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?
Long Version
*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's incomplete All alone... With no hope... How could I... Make your love disappear? repeat* All alone in the night With no hope left in sight. How could I finally Make your love 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?
