Please Take This Darkness Away

I wonder, oh how I wonder What causes the pain I feel? When her love departs from me Was that love really real? And what of those dreams What happens now I must ask? Will those dreams be someone else’s? Covered by another’s mask? Is the light now turned to darkness? Does the world seem upside down? Why is this pain lingering Now that you’re no longer around Oh to go back to those yesterdays When you were so close to me But love has no way of knowing This one who is just history Alone I manage my footsteps And alone I try sleeping each night But once I owned the world my friend Because once I held true light But darkness is all that’s left And in darkness is where I stay Please, oh please I beg anyone Please take this darkness away
