Song Lyrics 3

Melancholy Footsteps

~~~

A specter of the love that we once shared

haunts each night that I'm alone

melancholy footsteps on a silent stair

echo the beat of a heart without a home

~

Too many nights alone

plagued by endless thoughts

that keep droning

through my worried mind

~

I live with a dread of the coming day

and lay me down to sleep but can only pray.

Seeking relief from the agony

of knowing you're not here with me

~

Had I known that it wouldn't work

I would have flown far away from you

Sometimes love turns into an angry lie

that devours all that is true 

~

A specter of the love that we once shared

haunts each night that I'm alone

melancholy footsteps on a silent stair

echo the beat of a heart without a home

~

Listening for a phone 

that never rings

stuck in a zone

where broken hearts bleed

~

Living with a dread of the coming day

I lay me down to sleep but can only pray.

Seeking relief from the agony

of knowing you're not here with me

~

Had I known that it wouldn't work

I would have flown far away from you

Sometimes love turns into an angry lie

that devours all that is true 

~

A specter of the love that we once shared

haunts each night that I'm alone

melancholy footsteps on a silent stair

echo the beat of a heart without a home
