With an empty heart
and all my hope
wrapped tight around me
Fled into lonely night
I'm still here you
never found me
Running past fantasies
of your utopian daylight
Pretend I'm someone else
memories don't seem
to fit right
Those bells I thought
would never toll for me
When they did
hollow the sound
hollow the meaning
But recall all the time
spent in a warm embrace
And why I exited
knowing it couldn't
be replaced
Love once
I thought you were
the cure for everything
that ailed me
After I tried so hard
was it that you
simply failed me
Those bells I thought
would never toll for me
When they did
hollow the sound
hollow the meaning
Love when I care to look
I see you as
smoke and mirrors
Naked I face myself
when your
illusion disappears
