You try to live your life from day to day But seeing you across the room tonight Just gives me away The heart won't lie Looking back over the years Of All the things I've always meant to say But words didn't come easily So many times through empty fears

I took a heavenly ride through our silence Where were you when I was burned and broken While the days slipped by from my window watching And where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless 'Cause the things you say and the things you do surround me

A Loner longing for The cadence of her last breath Running for her life The dark rain from her eyes still falls Breathtaking butterfly Chose a dark day to live Save one breath for me Why do I miss someone I never met, with bated breath I lay

In the city I know there must be somethin' better In the city, oh, oh. Somewhere out there on that horizon Out beyond the neon lights But there's nowhere else in sight It's survival in the city When you live from day to day City streets don't have much

Guess I'll always have to be Living in a fantasy From now on That's the way it's got to be It's you for you, and me for me Monday has come around again I'm in the same old place With the same old faces always watching me Who knows how long I'll have to
