Face to face we stand here, and yet you seem a world away
Beyond this mindless chatter, there are words that you can't say
Empty spaces in conversation seem to last forever
Somehow the words I choose to say don't seem so clever
What is happening here?
The truth is now what I most fear
I know you're gone
Even though you're still standing here
Surrounded by the silence, my heart is screaming
Wondering what happened to this dream I once was dreaming
I remember when you would share your plans of each endeavor
Somehow the words I choose to say don't seem so clever
Where did this go wrong?
The truth is now what I most fear
I know you're gone
Even though you're still standing here
You are standing here as I look into your eyes
There is a truth that you no longer will disguise
It is over everything has changed somehow
I know you're gone
Even though you are standing with me now
And from this endless dream I guess it's time I've 'wakened
And I'm astounded by the time that it's been taking
Maybe I'm mistaken and things aren't half as bad as they really seem
But here I am holding helplessly to the same old childish dream
My heart went wrong
And the truth I must no longer fear
I know you're gone
Even though you're still standing here
