Confined

For the first time ever you didn't write back
Left me terrified like a little child in Iraq

Surrounded by candlelight my mind I'm fighting
Agonizing over every single word I'm writing

Days were flying by back when you gave me flowers
Now I don't know how to deal with my lonely hours

There wasn't a mountain we wouldn't dare to climb
Could it be that we're now living in a different time

Friends continue asking me about our relation
So going out results in yet another humiliation

Believe me I want to see this through
And while you know my point of view
I cannot accept it ending out of the blue
Cause, Honey I've never known a love so true

Remaining with a slight hope I'm waiting here
So when you reappear I pray you feel me near

Without you I'm bound to this inner strife
That's why I know I want you in my life

Out of sight to me really means out of mind
I never thought I'd understand the meaning of confined

For once it truly looked like a happy ending
Now I might have to face all that's impending

You could never just be 'one of them'
Since I am writing this at 3 a.m.

Distracting myself picking up my guitare
Right now you're deciding our future - so bizzare
Looking up at the sky wondering about this star
Dead or alive it's up to you what we really are
