Lifeless
You were the reason that I believe in love
And that I see the light up above
And now my heart is full of bitterness
I'm living a life in darkness
The twinkle in my eyes
Turned to tears, frozen into ice
The light inside me
Is fading away so slowly
Love has taken life away from me
I've lost hope, my future ceased to be
Nothing... not even time
Could bring back life that was once mine
