The Wolf And His Pen

Another Night Slips By

The wind is roaring.. 

My mind is soaring.. 

Another night slips me slowly by... 

And like tonight and the night before here awake I lie.. 

I just can't sleep.. My mind is reaching down way too deep,

As I am wondering why is this the way things are? 

Why is this the way things had to be? 

Why is it everything and everyone seems so far? 

Why does my heart feel so damned lonely?

Why won't the pain just go away? 

These tears don't even begin numb it half-way.. 

Another night, another day.. 

Someone tell me, why do I feel this way? 

They said love hurts, they didn't say how much.. 

They said time heals, they didn't say how long it takes.. 

They said that I need to be strong that I will be fine,

But what is the point of that if the girl I love can't be mine?

Damn it why can't the truth be a lie? 

Why did she choose some other guy? 

What good can he do her if he ain't even there? 

Why couldn't she see just how much I cared? 

I'd give up everything and do anything just to make her happy

So what in this world makes me unworthy? 

I worked so hard yet she tore me apart

Why did she ask for my heart

If she was just going to tear it to pieces? 

Man the pain she gives me never ceases

Yet, for all it's worth I can't bring myself to hate that girl.. 

By and by she was always my world.. 

Yes she wronged me in so many ways,

But how can I erase all those happy days? 

I can't, it's impossible, I don't want to, no not at all,

I guess all I can do is take these damned memories and start to fall....
