I stare outside my window with a lonely heart
To share my soul with someone else; this hope must part
Love is but a dream that I cannot subdue
I know that in my lonely heart this dream will not come true
I stare outside my window hoping I am wrong
To spare my soul the pain that I've endured so long
If only I could feel warmth upon my skin
To know that I'm important now, to know how wrong I've been
I stare outside my window with the truth to face
To scare away all love; I feel like such a waste
I cry this night for I know now the truth was always known
Despite my dreams, despite my hopes, I stare alone.
