where have the happy times gone
why don’t you hear me when I cry
the tears fall but no one knows

my heart is broken, yet it still works
meaningless activity fills my day
getting by day by day filled by sorrow
the loneliness is deafening

i’ve never known such pain
it envelopes me over and over
never ceasing, always present
in every moment, all day long
into the lonely night

why don’t you hear me when I cry
the tears fall but no one knows
i ask for help, but none appears
i plea for a way out, yet there is none

i’m filled with such sadness
when will it end, it’s hard to
breathe, pressing in from
all sides until i’m breathless

can you hear it?

my heart is fading

can you hear it?

the quiet sorrow

can you hear it?

until next time?
