Why did I let you go...
"You lost your chance."
This is what I hear.
From everyone who knows about you.
"You know, he's moved on."
Is all they say.
I'm starting to believe that it's true.
So all these tears.
That I have cried for you.
I guess they all add up to nothing.
I mean, it's over right?
Why try to look back?
Everyone says I should move on with my life.
Yet...I don't want to.
I stand here and refuse.
I won't let you go, not again.
Sure, you don't love me now.
But maybe someday you will...
I guess I'll try to live for that chance.
Everyday I see you, I smile a little
Yes, my heart still starts to pound
Everytime I'm without you
I fall apart just a little
Without you I'm always alone
I heard somewhere that you never know
How much you love someone till you lose them
I never could have imagined
How that would ring true
Until I realized that you were gone.
And just like that, all this love that I felt
Took me away in a storm
You never know...
I guess I never really did.
But now, I know that I do.
I know how much I loved, and how much I lost.
I know how much I really need you.
Prisoner of the Night
She comes through the doorThe silence is accusingIt screams at her insides, "Where have you been?"As she throws off her coat and heads up the stairsShe enters her room, and unzips her bootsShe turns her face away from the mirrorShe knows that she cannot bear to seeThe damage of tonight's work loadBut she steals a glance, and regrets that she didFor it is much worse than she could have fearedHer make-up is smeared, her hair's all a messThe scent of sin remains, telling where she's beenThere's a run in her hoseAs she falls down on her bedFeeling immensely weak and aloneThis queen of the night is someone nobody knowsOh, they think that they know herThe way she stands and how she talksAs she sells her short skirt and her black knee high bootsThey know what she does, they know how she movesBut nobody knows her deep down insideThe person she's fighting to let freeThe young woman who says, "Oh God what have I done?""Is there any hope left for me?"The woman who cries when she wakes up in the morningFor fear that last night can't be forgivenThe woman who desperately tries to make ends meetAnd finds herself forced to those endless nights againThey judge her, they spit at her, as they drive by her at nightThey call her names no woman wants to hearThey pay her, they use her, then they throw her outAnd she trudges home alone once moreShe wishes everyday for someone who understandsEvery ince of pain she undertakesThey can judge her and use her, even abuse herBut God forbid they'd try to learn her name...
