It's been a long, sleepless night
Thoughts of empty silence in your eyes
Soft "I love you's" getting no reply
I realize you're gone

Daydreams again
I see your image in a window pane
I feel your teardrops in the pouring rain
Your naked voice cries for more

Don't want it to be over

Nothing to say
I know "forgive me" doesn't pave the way
No easy answer for an early grave
But now the game's been played
I can't go on like nothing's changed
When nothing seems the same

Don't want it to be over

"You see through all the lies
But you fail to recognize
There's truth in me"

"Now, there's no other way
Just take a chance
You can't run away from me now
Now that I feel alive"

I see the way of things in front of me
I can't say I like it
Each night I hear your voice inside my head
I'm begging you
Give me another chance

Taken away
There'll be no encore for this passion play
No bleeding heart can end the sad refrain
A drowning voice screams for more

Don't want it to be over
