There's no happiness like sorrow
The games we play, the words you say
To hurt me let me know that you still care
I wish there were no tomorrow
The plans we make, the roads we take
Just never seem to lead us anywhere
Don't leave me lonely
Just leave me alone
I'm fading slowly and tomorrow I'll be gone
My legs are weary, but I've got so far to go before I fall
There's no method to this madness
Any purpose that I might've had
Has long ago been drowned beneath your tears
And now the King of Sadness stands
And takes a bow for the world to see
The emperor's been naked all these years
(Just leave me alone...)
And for one brief, shining moment there
It seemed that I might see the light
But for my life I could not read the signs
And now there's not a taste more bitter
Than the taste of sweet hope, snatched away
And so I'll sign my name one final time
Don't leave me lonely
Just leave me alone
I'm fading slowly and tomorrow I'll be gone
I could surrender now, but Heaven knows I'll never be that strong....
