I stand alone in silence

A broken man

I don’t want to remember

Even if I can

Shadows haunt my memories

(haunt my memories)

My spirit grieves and mourns

Shattered pride, lies cast aside

Forsaken and forlorn

Don’t leave me crying in depths of despair

Don’t let me die in despair

No hope for the future

(no hope for the future because I can only see pain)

I see only pain

The past I hardly recognize

Everything has changed

(everything has changed)

My aching heart is wheeping

I no longer care

Sinking ever deeper

(and deeper and deeper and deeper…)

In depths of despair

Don’t leave me crying in depths of despair

Don’t let me die in despair

Don’t leave me crying in depths of despair

Don’t let me die in despair
