Where Are You Now?

Sometimes I think of you
and wonder where you are
and if you think of me on lonely nights
or dream about me when there's nothing left to dream
I don't expect you to miss me
and I know the phone will never ring
with your voice hanging on the other line
but I have to know
if I'm in your thoughts
or if you forgot about me
like you promised you never would
I can't bear the thought
of what we shared
being nothing than a footnote
in a forgotten chapter of your life
and even though I only think of you
during the loneliest hours of the night
Part of me is still hoping
that you're thinking of me

Alone

No matter the friends I keep
It's always alone I sleep
No matter the people with whom I talk
It's alone I shall be forced to walk
When night drops cold across the land
and I'm searching for someone's hand
I know that none shall be found
for their distance does abound
With time I've grown so cold
I've slipped beyond the edge of my fold
and in darkened corner I shall face the night
distanced from this evil fight
alone
alone
forever alone

Forgiven

Within Temptation

Couldn't save you from the start
Love you so it hurts my soul
Can you forgive me for trying again?
Your silence makes me hold my breath
All the time has passed you by

For so long, I've tried to shield you from the world
You couldn't face the freedom on your own
Here I am
Left in silence

You gave up the fight
You left me behind
All that stands forgiven
You'll always be mine
I know deep inside
All that stands forgiven

Watched the clouds drifting away
Still the sun can't warm my face
I know it was destined to go wrong
You were looking for the great escape
To chase your demons away

For so long, I've tried to shield you from the world
You couldn't face the freedom on your own
Here I am
Left in silence

You gave up the fight
You left me behind
All that stands forgiven
You'll always be mine
I know deep inside
All that stands forgiven

I've been so lost since you've gone
Why not me before you?
Why did fate deceive me?
Everything turned out so wrong
Why did you leave me in silence?

You gave up the fight
You left me behind
All that stands forgiven
You'll always be mine
I know deep inside
All that stands forgiven


I want to stop beliving in a dream that will never be real...
There's a bigger world out there...
I'm giving up this fight...
I'm moving on...
With you in my heart...
