With an empty heart and all my hope wrapped tight around me Fled into lonely night, I'm still here you never found me Running past fantasies (in anonymity) of your Utopian daylight Pretend I'm someone else (one of many) memories don't seem to fit right
Those bells I thought would never toll for me When they did, hollow the sound, hollow the meaning
But recall all the time (now far behind me) spent in a warm embrace And why I exited (please don't remind me) knowing it couldn't be replaced Love, once I thought you were (it's so easy to fall) the cure for everything that ailed me
After I tried so hard (or did I try at all) was it that you simply failed me?
Those bells I thought would never toll for me When they did, hollow the sound, hollow the meaning
Love, when I care to look I see you as smoke and mirrors Naked, I face myself when your illusion disappears
