I'm going to pretend on this unholy night
That there's someone there who will hold me tight
At the end of this tunnel there must be some light
Or if not maybe I'll just give up the fight,

You left me alone without a care
As though I had never really been there
Don't lecture me now how life isn't fair
Please don't ask me why I stare,

Love is like a shooting star
You can leave wonder or sometimes a scar
What once seemed so close now seems so far
Perhaps I'll just get out and drive in my car,

Just leave me be in life's one act play
Trying to find a mate that will stay
Wish I was a child so happy to play
It's a different world now full of dismay,

Deep in my heart in the darkest of nights
Remove all the troubles from my sight
Our own little worlds full of our hopes and fright
That very rare commodity that we call delight,

The Lord giveth and he taketh away
So many of us who are simply lost strays
Like a soldier in battle lost in a haze
This world has become an evil maze,

I'll pretend to find her in dawn's early light
No need to argue or put up a fight
I'll be happy for once to take life in tiny bites
I made the wrong assumption that I had the right,

Lay me down in this field of green
You're looking so gorgeous and serene
Like an angel you hover in a sacred scene
Don't let me wake up from this dream.
