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
