On nights like these,
when the clouds hide my stars,
light from the moon skews through the clouds...

i wonder,

how many days,
many minutes,
many seconds,
will it take to wipe away this regret,
to apologize for the
things i never said

so mad, so afraid.
shouldve chased the lies,
we both were telling.

and,

if you only knew,
how much i think,
i know,
how much i feel,
youd be here too.

don't try to pretend,
its been too long,
truth is a game,
and this game is old.

and,

i know how i feel,
within these lines,
i'll never lie,
and stay numb

this invades me,
you may never know,
this may never change.

now,

only thinking of you,
all we've been through,
secures your place
in my dreams tonight.

...and i hope you dream tonight
