Lyrics
I sit here wide awake,
Moonlight shining on the lake.
I’m sitting on the fishing dock
Where we first fell in love.
The hour is getting late,
But I’m not in a drowsy state.
I’d rather watch the countless stars above.
I wonder what it was
That tore apart the two of us.
A force beyond my understanding
Calcified your soul.
It left me all alone,
Once a child, but now full-grown,
Sentenced to a life without parole.
I think of younger years,
Painless laughter, silent tears,
Loving you at nighttime
Until the break of day.
I always thought about you.
Now I just can’t live without you.
The isolation never goes away.
If you were here with me,
We’d talk it out, I’d make you see
That you and I could make it,
Make it if we try,
But that can’t happen now.
I blew my chances anyhow.
I’m not a child, but still I want to cry.
Now I’m completely naked.
Nothing I can do will break it,
Stripped of every defense
That kept my feelings in.
Sometimes I try to fake it,
Still I never overtake it,
Serving time for someone else’s sin.
The morning sun is here,
Shining on the lake so clear.
Another night has ended
Without an ounce of rest.
The workday lies ahead,
Time to earn my daily bread,
But wealth is superficial at its best.
I can’t go anyplace
Where I don’t see your smiling face
Saying that you’ll give me,
Give me one more chance,
But in reality
I know you’ve washed your hands of me.
It’s time to wake and exit from this trance.
(repeat chorus)
Sometimes I think that if we’d never met,
There wouldn’t be this pain inside my heart.
Seems what I want is never what I get.
We fell in love and then we fell apart.
(instrumental of 2/3 verse)
I won’t go by your home
Or call you on the telephone.
You’re going on with your life;
I’m going on with mine.
Some things aren’t meant to be.
I’ll let them die with dignity,
And do my best to leave it all behind.
(repeat chorus)
(repeat chorus)
Serving time for someone else’s sin.
