What is this love

That I leave behind

How can I turn

From the tears in your eyes

What is this world

Where we always pretend

That it is worth it

Worth it in the end



What is this life we share

That I just throw away

Is this love

That causes so much pain

What is the promise

That I leave behind

Why can't I

Just lie beside you again



What's goin' on

How'd it get so wrong



What is this dream

That I'll never find

What is this prayer

That's stealing my mind

What is this deal

That I've just made with fate

And I wonder

If I have left it too late
