Lately I'm thinking, Of the future I hold.

Inside this large house, Will I live here alone?

My heart keeps sinking, When I tell it the truth.

There's nothing there, To look forward to.

Will I have my own children, A wife I could hold? Where are my parents, Will they leave me alone?

Not even twenty, With all of these thoughts.

But with all that I've seen, My fantasies are gone.

I don't want solitude, That much is true.

If the price is more suffering, I'd rather be alone.

Once I have loved,

A flower that bloomed.

With thorns it was covered,

But its beauty overpowered.

​I held it close with both my hands,

Pain it gave but I endured.

The love I had, it never withered,

But the more I held, the more I was scared.

​My hands bled, I couldn't let go,

Couldn't be brave to take it home.

In the end, my hands gave out,

With feelings burned, they grew numb.

​Only then did I let go,

To see a man come pluck it off.

Where were the thorns? I couldn't see.

She left them in my hands, now I see.

It's been a long time, I guess,

Since my heart was content.

Now I think less

Of the way that you left.

Now that I wonder

Of the feelings I felt,

You could have been kinder

With the hand that you dealt.

Alone under the night sky,

With stars that shine bright,

The rain started falling,

And the world felt so right.

Now in the silence,

The only sound that remains,

Is the rain's own laughter,

Like a melodious hymn.

She dances on the canvas,

Deep within my heart.

Turning all of the ruin,

Into a work of art.
