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
'Cause 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
