Evermore

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 steal 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 way

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
