Lyrics

 * I was the one who had it all
 * I was the master of my fate
 * I never needed anybody in my life
 * I learned the truth too late


 * I'll never shake away the pain
 * I close my eyes but she's still there
 * I let her still into my melancholy heart
 * It's more than I can bear


 * Now I know she'll never leave me
 * Even as she runs away
 * She will still torment me
 * Calm me, hurt me
 * Move me, come what may


 * Wasting in my lonely tower
 * Waiting by an open door
 * I'll fool myself, she'll walk right in
 * And be with me for evermore


 * I rage against the trials of love
 * I curse the fading of the light
 * Though she's already flown so far beyond my reach
 * She's never out of sight


 * Now I know she'll never leave me
 * Even as she fades from view
 * She will still inspire me
 * Be a part of everything I do


 * Wasting in my lonely tower
 * Waiting by an open door
 * I'll fool myself she'll walk right in
 * And as the long, long nights begin
 * I'll think of all that might have been
 * Waiting here for evermore
