Erik:
Every broken-hearted fool
Who ever cried themselves to sleep
Should thank their God above tonight
For whoever made them weep
You see, I envy every single tear
Every sob, every sigh
Because the love you lost at least you once possessed
And the pain will fade in time
But the love you never had
Is etched in stone forever
Reminding you of what might have been
The love you never had
Stays with you like a shadow
So close, but when you reach, there’s no one there
Every heartsick little wretch
Who ever fell down on their knees
Should glorify each tearful night
And eulogize their misery
Because pain is proof that you’re alive
And soon enough the healing starts
And through it all, one truth is left behind
Someone cared enough to break your heart
But the love you never had
Leaves you nothing more than empty
Dreaming only dark, silent dreams
The love you never had
Will haunt you like a demon
Staying with you ‘til the day that you die
You ask why?
Tell you why!
Because that’s how it feels
When you reach through the darkness each night
And she never is there and she’ll never be there
You rationalize that it’s all for the better this way
Love is never worth the price that you pay
But you know it’s a lie
So you rant and you rave at the God who made you this way
As long as all your sins are pre-paid,
Why not raise a little Hell on your way to the grave?
Then you look in her eyes,
Remember why you still dream…
The love you never had
Is etched in stone forever
Reminding you of what might have been
The love you never had
Stays with you like a shadow
So close, but when you reach, there’s no one there
Never there, never there…
