You ask me why my heart's so sad, And why the teardrops fill my eyes, A heart can't sing that's filled with pain, How can it laugh when it cries. I saw my dreams all fade and die, Like castles in the blue, Each dawn will bring more tears and pain, I've lost the only love I knew. Oh, life for me is useless now, It seems so empty and blue, There's no more use to try again, I fail in everything I do. It's hard to know you'll never have, The one you love so true, While the world's asleep, I'll lay and cry, I've lost the only love I knew.
