Sitting in my old and dusty room

I tell myself that things will change

But you see, when I wake up from my dreaming

It's still the same,

I can't believe you've gone away

Writing letters by the candlelight

I look for words to bring you back

Can't you see it won't let go of me

Please let me be and set me free

Cuz you see when I wake up from my dreaming

It's still the same

I can't believe you've gone away

Ooh, the tears that I hide

can't you see

it's been a long time

a long time

a long time

a long time

I'll try and realize you're gone

Tell myself that wanting you is wrong

No matter what I say or do

I've got to learn it's easy to forget you

Words won't stop the pain I have inside

Got to change the feelings that I hide

And now the only thing left to do

is to tell you

the only way I ever knew

how to survive

An empty room's become a marble tomb

And locked inside is all my pride

All my tears have run down through the years

I'm wanting more and more of you

I walk the streets

through the waking dream

I feel the lonely days,

the lonely nights,

won't stop the pain

It's been a long time

a long time

a long time

a long time
