she looked out at the crowd that night,
her act was done, so kill the lights,
i took a bow and said goodbye to them.

the faceless people in the crowd,
she couldn't see beyond her love,
my heart would never be the same again.

he held his hand out for her,
she tried to take it, but he got further,
and tonight, i cried myself to sleep.

torn between the two she loved,
her heart will bleed, her eyes will hurt,
i knew how much this hurt the three of us.

how does she throw it all away,
how does she make the other stay,
i didn't think, the thoughts to much to bear.

if the whole world wanted to be in love,
shouldn't love be beautiful, magical,
when did the pain set in, when did it hurt.

if two people you say were meant to be,
why can't i find the one for me?
why can't my heart commit to you?

i love you, he says to her,
don't you need me, he begs of her,
but i keep silent and walk away.
