waking again, don't know why

it's far too still tonight

around my bed shadows fall

thinking of you, where you are

and how it got this far

wondering when you might call

tired and so alone

i ignore the tv drone

every heart beat turns toward the telephone

you're in my mind, in my dream

i'm cursed, or so it seems

don't know where to take flight

always the same no doubt

and it turns me inside out

it's so hard to walk away, try as i might

*cuz i'm broken inside

pieces of me, intense and obscene

forced not to show the things that i know

all of the flaws i keep unseen

i turn to you ,what else can i do

hoping to find a way to see through

a break in the sky to get through the night

discover the peace i wish i knew

painting in shades of gray shifting through the disarray

can i find enough of me to make you stay?

*cuz i'm broken inside

pieces of me, intense and obscene

forced not to show the things that i know

all of the flaws i keep unseen

i turn to you ,what else can i do

hoping to find a way to see through

a break in the sky to get through the night

discover the peace i wish i knew

but you , you turn the tide

wash over me, come set me free

i won't question why

try to disguise all the things you mean to me

i trust you, what else can i do?

i can't deny something so true

look at me now, wondering how

i'll keep the peace i find with you...
