In my mind the skies are covered
With clouds to match my thoughts
Thick and looming, filled with tears
That just won't seem to fall

People pass me by as they go about their day
Never guessing that my eyes only see
A world steeped with gray
No colors to differ the monotonous tone

The sun hasn't shone here for quite a while
All has life frozen from within
Where I live can no one smile
And shadows full of a life before

A life with color and the warm sun
Where laughter is heard and smiles are many
When I loved and lived to full extent
....leaving only a faded mem'ry

The rain, it falls and soaks my skin
With the tears I cry inside
Where no one else can see my pain
..It's such a lonely place to hide

Sometimes I wish you would hear me
As behind my tired eyes I scream
But I won't tell you that either
I'll just go on - stuck in this terrible dream

They tell me - the dull, mute voices -
That fate has made me so alone and afraid
But I don't believe them, how can I,
When destiny's never a game I played?

The shivering figure in this black and white world
Is all that's left of who used to be my heart
I changed when I told you goodbye
And now it's tearing me apart

I must accept what I cannot change
Even if you could change it for me...
To ask would only open our hearts
To the hurt I'm so sick of showing

Where are you? Are you happy?
I hope so...as for me...everything is still
I don't live, I don't breath, or sing, or dance
While the clouds here reflect my broken soul
