i long for a day just you and me...
or even just an hour if that's all you can give...
but it's still too much to ask for, isn't it?
i long for the promises you made to be kept...
or even just one of them if that's all you can do...
but it's still too much to ask for, isn't it?

i long to smile from my soul...
not one cracked out of a tear-stained face...
i long to laugh from within...
not one forced out of an empty shell

i long for an answer to my question...
yet i lack the courage to ask...
i long for the simple truth...
yet i can't bring myself to face it...

too many times i long for this...and that...
and too many things i am longing for...

broken dreams...
fallen hopes...
and forgotten promises...

maybe time can heal all wounds...
and maybe with time, i'd feel better...

another second gone...
another second closer to the end...
another second which brought me nearer to leaving this cruel land...
