Title: Shattered Hopes
Summary: Call me emo if you want, I don't mind. Nobody matters as much as you always have; I realized at last that all I wanted was one person to love, and now I can't even get that, so I'll be emo for you.

Shattered Hopes


It's no secret I hide from them,
I just can't bring myself to tell you.
What do I risk for love?
What is there that I would not do?

There's something inside I can't let go;
There's something that I want to tell you—
Something you should know.

Save me before I die here;
This world is all I've known.
I've waited too long and this is the result,
My world of cold and stone.

I feel my heart is breaking
With every word I say.
I feel my sanity is leaving me
As I get through each day.

There's something inside I can't let go;
There's something that I want to tell you—
Something you should know.

What would I say to you
If I could only speak to you?
I used to be so sure before,
But now what can I do?

I'm so afraid you'll never know—
So afraid my words will fall short of you.
I can't escape these feelings.
If only you knew..

There's something inside I can't let go;
There's something that I want to tell you—
Something you should know.

I've waited too long,
And now there's no one there.
I'm begging deaf ears to save me
From a cross too heavy to bear.

There's something inside I can't let go;
There's something that I want to tell you—
Something you should know.

There's something inside I can't let go;
There's something that's killing me,
But you will never know...
