The Object of My Affection
Like Chasing Dreams

Feel free to have my heart,
Feel love coming off my fingertips.
My words are only shadows, my thoughts merely vapors,
My promises are shreds of paper, my pain merely ink;
For all the things I'm losing, my loneliness stays found,
For all the company I'm losing, heartache is ever true-
And so I turn from chasing dreams, from being loved:
And so I turn to embrace the gloom, to be shunned.
I walk the day alone, blind from lack of hope,
I walk the night alone, lost in total black.

I turn from chasing dreams of being loved,
I turn to embrace the gloom of being shunned.
My heart loves so easily but I am not so easily loved
My heart aches so much that soon it will be broken-
I fade into the night, wrapped in a blanket of despair
I mix into the shadows of everyday life
Forgetting nothing of all my lost loves
Forgetting everything that once filled me with hope.

Feel free to have my heart,
Feel love coming from deep inside.
My words are only black on white, my thoughts are grey;
My promises are cooling embers, my pain a raging fire.
I walk the day alone, hoping against hope.
I walk the night alone, chasing dreams I never catch.
