(Continued...)

Sitting here staring out into the rain
Realizing that I have loved in vain
If I am to be honest I knew from the start
I would never hold that special spot in her heart

Have you ever wanted so badly to make ones dream come true?
Only to realize their dreams do not involve you
Yet you would give almost any thing to see that smile
Sending them all your love across the miles

Deep in restless sleep I lay,
Ghost of the past, kept at bay
My mind in turmoil, eyes shut fast,
A single tear escapes at last
