Even If It's Only Me

They took all my tears away today
they said they will never give them back
who are they to think they can treat me this way
I need them to drown out my heart and soul
so sorrowful to hear their cries

They took my memories and left me all alone
they said I can't live in the past, but that's all I had
who are they to think they can just steal them away
I need them to tell me who I am, to remember them
some one has to, even if it's only me

Distant times seem just like yesterday
I can see them there just in front of me
it's as if I can reach out and touch them
but I know they're gone...I know they're gone

A flash of light blinds me in my dreams
so I call out loud hoping to hear some one
echos from my past have come and gone
I'm too tired to recall them all

Oh I need some sleep, my eyes are so dry
they cannot even weep, but I hear the screams
coming close, what do they mean...haunting me
can't they see that I have already suffered so much
I gave up everything...for love

They say one has to let go to really know
if you'll get back what you put in, in return
and they say that if it doesn't, then it wasn't
meant to be love, and on you go, forward evermore

What they don't tell you, is what you have to leave behind
what they don't say, is the sacrifices you'll have to make
just a sweet innocent child and now she'll never know
brought up with lies and deceit
by the ones that's supposed to show her love 

They took all my tears away today
they said they will never give them back
who are they to think they can treat me this way
I need them to drown out my heart and soul
so sorrowful to hear their cries

They took my memories and left me all alone
they said I can't live in the past, but that's all I had
who are they to think they can just steal them away
I need them to tell me who I am, to remember them
some one has to, even...even if it's only me

Even if it's only me, even if it's only me
even if it's only me, ya...even if it's only me !
