Is there ever really a right time

You had led me to believe

Some day you would be there for me



When the stars above aline

When you weren't so concerned

I kept looking for the clues

So I waited in the shadows of my heart

and the still the time was never right



Until one day I stopped caring

and began to forget why I long to be so close

and I disappear into the darkness

and the darkness turns to pain

Never went away

Until all that remained

Was buried

Deep beneath the surface



A shell of what things could have been

Tired bones beneath the vail

of guarded secret are too frail

Sad to think i ever knew

You were searching for the words

For the moment to emerge

Yet the moment never came

You couldn't risk my fragile frame



Until one day,

You stopped caring

and began to forget why you tried to be so close

and you disappeared into the darkness

and the darkness turned to pain

and never went away

Until all that remained

Was buried

Deep beneath the surface



(piano solo)



I would scream just to be heard

as if yelling at the stars

I was bleeding just to feel



You would never say a word

Kept me reaching in the dark

Always something to conceal



Until one day i stopped caring

and began to forget why i longed to be so close

and i disappear into the darkness

and the darkness turned to pain

and never went away

Until all that remained was buried

Deep beneath the surface

...Beneath the surface...
