Restart
On my own again I sit and think,
Thinking of you still.
Surrounded by people I still feel alone,
And I suspect I always will.
You changed me completely so long ago,
Something you'll never know -
To you I'm still lively and oh so free,
Drifting like falling snow.
I hate this thing I have become,
A face with a lying smile.
I just want to feel loved again,
If only for a while.
Everyone around seems so in love,
Thinking of you still.
Surrounded by people I still feel alone,
And I suspect I always will.
You changed me completely so long ago,
Something you'll never know -
To you I'm still lively and oh so free,
Drifting like falling snow.
I hate this thing I have become,
A face with a lying smile.
I just want to feel loved again,
If only for a while.
Everyone around seems so in love,
My envy glares from smiling eyes -
I long to feel how I did with you,
Despite all your constant lies.
Today my smile has become a lie,
As I lock emotions away.
Drinking until my pain is numb,
Until the following day.
Surrounding myself with friends
Still makes me feel this way -
Each time I'm given a ray of hope,
I can't bring myself to stay.
On my own again I try to cry,
To force some feeling in my heart.
I long for love, I long for peace -
I just want my life to restart.
