Sleepless Nights

I lay beneath the soft moonlight
On yet another sleepless night
Is there any good left in this place?
Even the light of the sun will burn your face

And on me still I smell her perfume
But Eden, in fire, has been consumed
My love alone is what remains
And it's the cause of all my pain

But if love's the cause of all my pain
Then pain and joy must be the same
For love once gave me happiness
When I was held by you in a sweet caress

I don't want to die alone
To have nowhere to call my home
There are no tears upon my face
I only hope one day to find my place

Why must I pretend to be strong?
The walls I've built are almost gone
They were built up slow and weakned fast
My calm facade will never last

Alone on my roof beneath the soft moonlight
I wish I could get over sleepless nights
I'm only running from my dreams
Because a nightmare waits to break the scene

I hope you find where you belong
But a part of me will always be gone
I get out my pen and turn on the light
On yet another sleepless night
