"My Lonely Song"

vs 1:
I've heard that you don't know what you've got til it's gone.
I wonder, did I begin to realize as the gulf grew long?
I've been thinkin' that if you would just return for a song,
I'd know once and for all if all these concerns are wrong.

In my private Hell, I can only save myself.

chorus:
Every sleepless night, I give up the fight.
Every day, you bring me back.
How I wish that I could let this grudge die;
Let love set us back on track.

vs 2:
My deepest fear is that I'll miss the forest for the trees.
My darkest years were spent in pursuit of counterfeit dreams.
When I settled down to ponder it all, I froze;
Overwhelmed by the feeling that I'd already missed the boat.
I'm full of cliches and sad memories and regrets.
I heard what you said, the best of me is something you will never get
But true love would see I'm beautiful just as I am.
I dreamt that you'd be, ultimately, a much stronger man.

In my lonely song, my white knight never comes.

Bridge:
In this dark abyss, have I been remiss?
Why is reconciliation so difficult?
How did I miss the "sorry's" and "I love you's"?
In my stubbornness, I've traded love for a principle.

chorus:
Every sleepless night, I give up the fight.
Every day, you bring me back.
How I wish that I could let this grudge die.
Will love set us back on track?

In my fragile soul, I'm conflicted and unwhole.
