Lonely Nights

In the quiet of my room Shadows dancing in the gloom Emptiness my only friend Longing for this ache to end Every night feels so cold In this silence I grow old Wishing you were by my side To fill this void I cannot hide Lonely nights and endless dreams Echoes of what could have been In the dark I call your name Hoping you might feel the same Staring at the midnight sky Counting stars and asking why Memories of your warm embrace Now just ghosts I cannot chase In the whispers of the night I seek comfort find no light Your absence leaves a hollow space No one else can take your place Lonely nights and endless dreams Echoes of what could have been In the dark I call your name Hoping you might feel the same Time moves slow the world stands still In my heart I feel the chill Through the tears and through the pain I search for you but all in vain Walking through these empty streets Every corner where we'd meet Silence echoes your goodbye In this loneliness I sigh With each breath I feel the weight Of this lonely empty state Wishing for a sign from you Something to hold on to Lonely nights and endless dreams Echoes of what could have been In the dark I call your name Hoping you might feel the same In the moonlight shadows fall I still hear your distant call Through the sorrow through the fear I keep you close I hold you near Lonely nights and endless dreams Echoes of what could have been In the dark I call your name Hoping you might feel the same In this silence I'll remain Feeling every ounce of pain Lonely nights they never end Until the day I'm whole again
