I was wishing for roses
I was praying for petals
Surrounding something special
Along the surface of the water
But nothing ever comes
No, no one ever comes.
Into the years of isolation
I've been completely alone
In some subtle way
I'm begging for the day
When that "something" is no longer missing
These are my dreams unfulfilled
This expression of love I've kept to myself
Is useless and faded now,
I've given it up.
I have never loved
There are times when I wish I could confide in someone or something,
But somehow I can't reach that place.
Here I am again searching for direction
I can't find in myself
Wah!
When I look to the world
For some kind of connection
All my faith just drains away.
I remember feeling most alive when she kissed me
And I said goodbye
Those were times when I felt that I could never escape
I was holding on to what was safe
Despite the need to separate.
Sometimes bonds just won't break.
But I walked away
From that familiar face
I knew that lonely times would await
I walked away
Because I never found my place
And I'm still searching.
Still dreaming
Of the beautiful ends
But they're nowhere to be seen
They are always out of reach
I've chased
This dream
Eager but exhausted
Through so many sleepless nights
The longing never stops
Waiting for something great, for more than life can give
Waiting for something great, for more than life can give
Waiting for something great, for more than life can give!
