"Scream"

There's a line of speech inside us, each is different yet the same
And it lies in wait, to shine, to say, "it's over" once again
It seems to me, such a tragedy, that love should have to end
So I've learned to see just "i and me" my one and only friend

It's a tribute to the thousands, who have loved and lost in vain
Love is born and yet to my regret, it always dies in pain
It seems to me that reality has let me down again
As the daylight sleeps, the silence greets my one and only friend
My one and only friend
My one and only friend

You bring me down, you never listen to a single word I say
I'm just an echo in your ears, you cast away
Once again, to a long forgotten place inside your heart
But I know it's not the same

For even now, you never ever clear a space or time for me
In spite of everything, I've loved you faithfully
Can't you see, that I thought my love was safe inside your heart
Don't you throw it all away

When I scream inside, I scream to god, I scream "don't tease me any more"
When I scream inside, I scream, "I'm only made of flesh and bone"
When I scream inside, I scream to god, I scream "don't bleed me any more"
When I scream inside, I scream, "I'll perish, I will turn to stone"
Be anything, but all alone

You can be cruel, I knew you'd welcome every chance to break the rules
And when you're running out of broken-hearted fools
Then you're gone, like an apparition feeding on the hearts
That you break along the way

I couldn't see, it's only now I realise what blind can be
And now you've finally overstepped the line for me
We were one, but I'm better off without you from now on
Say goodbye, don't hesitate

What a world is this when joy and bliss turn sour just the same?
It's a precipice, a final kiss extinguishes the flames
In a carnival of a life where the excitement never ends
Just for now I'll sit in silence with my one and only friend
My one and only friend
My one and only friend
