[Intro]
[00:26]
Here in my mind
All’s safe and mine, it’s so fine…
So sublime, I’m safely hidden.
[00:30]
I can’t complain
Days are the same, no surprise…
It’s not wise, in my eyes.
Go away. Don’t come too near me.
[01:02]
But something’s wrong I just can’t see
The emptiness inside of me.
There’s nothing else to be.
Won’t someone set me free
So I won’t have to flee
Away, far away.
[01:26]
My restless heart
Wanders around, lost and found
Safe and sound in an empty journey
[01:40]
When will I find
That peace of mind, hard to find
Life unwinds, am I blind
All alone, I’m getting nowhere.
[02:02]
Is there anybody else out there?
With hope and comfort, love to share
I know life’s not always fair
Help me or I’ll despair.
I’m going crazy, please save me
I’m crying, and dying; please help me...
[02:42]I’m alone I’m sure I’ll lose my mind
I can’t be the lonely kind
I’m walking that fine line
Please care, be there…
[03:06]
I see now that there’s hope, you’ve thrown me a rope
Night is gone…I’ll move on
To somewhere better.
[03:16]
In me there’s now a light,
Shining so bright
I can see, I am free
I’m now we, you and me, I know you better.
[03:40]
I did not see you there
Nor did I know you cared.
I was yours, you came before
I even knew it.
[03:42]
No longer alone
In you I’ve made my home
We can be, totally
I’ll always love you
[Outro]
