On your own for all these years
In the dark hiding your fears
And your tears behind the heavy rain
...
How does it feel
When you still have the pain
Of wounds that will never heal
When you still can taste the sweetness
...
The sun is shining
But I'm still whining
And you're waiting below
...
One day I woke up
Not knowing what you stole
But After thorough searching
I knew you took my soul
...
Eighteen years ago
Love was not a sin
Now I still don't know
Things that might have been
...
You hate me when I'm happy
You hate me when I'm sad
You hate me when I'm calm
And also when I get mad
...
Promises that I broke
Haunting me everywhere
Like a cloud of heavy smoke
Its smell changing the air
...
Not Milton, not Shakespeare
Nor Edgar Allan Poe
In your mirrors I appear
A gloomy lonesome crow
...
My face will never show
The fact that I want to hide
But I already know
There's something dead inside
...
She says 'We are best friends,
And if love starts, friendship ends'
So that is why she runs
To marry someone else

Queen Of Pain
On your own for all these years
In the dark hiding your fears
And your tears behind the heavy rain
You’re just a tender rose
Behind a thousand thorns
And I’m the one you chose to hurt you again
Nothing to gain or lose
And no one to accuse
But me, O my queen of pain
In your soul I’m another hole
A stab in the heart that I stole
On your face I’m another bloody stain
An old photo in your album
This is how I have become
Another painful memory down the drain
Even if now it’s too late
All what happened was our fate
I still beg you to forgive me, O my queen of pain
