As I lie awake in the dark
and I listen to you snore
There's an ache in my heart
an ache too painful to ignore
I weep in silence
waiting for your embrace
But you sleep on
and the tears roll down my face
Our lives have settled to a dull routine
I fear we've grown apart
Separated by an invisible screen
Can we possibly create a new start?
How does one fill an empty void,
bring sunshine back into my darkened soul?
How do we rejuvenate love destroyed?
Where did we lose control?
We've got many years ahead of us
Can we hold on?
Can we fall in love again
And live in joy before we're long gone?
Each night I fervently pray
that your heart will be warm once more
That tomorrow will be the day
we journey anew towards the good things life has in store
