Lyrics[]
Once again, I'm here alone, my secret life awaits me,
Still a thousand miles away from the land of broken dreams
Night falls and the screen is shining, force deception behind the lines
Hours wasted, aimlessly gone, time and time again
Try to understand, desperately lost with a dream in my hand,
will you wait alone for me tonight?
Hold me, save me
A star shines in all of us, we'll search for all our lives,
One day we'll find a way, and a reason to survive
Cry for the day to return, life no one can understand
We all face our fears in the world; we all hold our place in the universe for eternity
Hide the lines, deceive myself, erase the past from my space,
Images of loneliness sent far across the land
Once sure but my eyes are blinded, frantic charge for a place to hide
Lost generations apart an ancient life returns
Kindness in her eyes, taken away by a man in disguise
Won't you wait alone again tonight?
Save me, take me
Star shines in all of us, we'll search for all our lives,
One day we'll find the way, and the reason to survive
Cry for the day to return, life no one can understand,
We all face our fears in the world; we all hold our place in the universe for eternity
Try to understand, desperately lost with a dream in my hand,
Will you wait alone for me tonight?
Hold me, save me
A star shines in all of us, we'll search for all our lives,
One day we'll find a way, and a reason to survive
Cry for the day to return, life no one can understand
Our past lives return to us all, our memories will fly free forever,
So far from the cries of the world for eternity
