You have seized my heart with your words.
You have ripped my soul from the core
You have taken my peace and my sanity.
Can’t I keep anything of mine anymore?

You promised to come when I needed you
Where are you now when my utmost needs arise?
Where is your protection? Where is your love?
Because living with your memory just doesn’t suffice.

The nights drag on for ever and ever
To stop myself from crying, I strive
Even the bright rays in the morning
Fail to bring happiness into my life

You told me to close my eyes and rest,
And that you would remain right here beside me.
But now that I have at last opened my eyes
Your promise was a lie as far as I can see.

They told me you were dead and gone,
And a horrible pain seared my mind
They told me you were freed from this world.
I stumbled as though I were blind.

But that’s something I will never believe.
At least until I am still living this life
Because when my life itself is gone
Tell me how can I remain alive?
