the maestro plays his tune and i start to cry, i don't know why
it is a song of faith and of love and life, an aching lie
and as my faithless dance drew some worried eyes, i kept my stride
and in this hall of chance, my unsettled mind was left to die
i only wanted to love you, i don't know why, i don't know
i only wanted to love you, i don't know why, i don't know
why you took away from me every semblence of hope
denied the simplest of truths, you continue your joke
hide those elegent lies beneath the smile in your eyes
and give me nothing that i deserve
i only wanted to love you, i don't know why, i don't know
i only wanted to love you, i don't know why, i don't know
why you turned away from me when i needed you most
destroyed the faith that i held, i believed in your ghost
under pressure from pride, i must end this ride
and now i die, and now i die
and this is how i die, tonight
and this is how i die, tonight
all that i wanted was to hold you so deep in my heart until this pain subsides
all that i wanted was to hold you so deep in my heart and hope this love never dies
all that i wanted was to hold you so deep in my heart and never realize
that all that i wanted was a moment of truth,
but no proof,
not the truth,
was what you gave me to lose
all that i wanted was to hold you so deep in my heart until this pain subsides
all that i wanted was to hold you so deep in my heart and hope this love never dies
all that i wanted was to hold you so deep in my heart and never realize
that all that i wanted was a moment of truth,
but found proof,
that the truth,
is nothing more than a lie when from you
