Beneath the Surface

Is there ever really a right time
 You had led me to believe
 Someday you'd be there for me
 When the stars above aligned
 When you weren't so consumed
 I kept looking for the clues
 So I waited in the shadows of my heart
 And still the time was never right
 Until one day I stopped caring
 And began to forget why I longed to be so close
 And I disappeared into the darkness
 And the darkness turned to pain
 And never went away
 Until all that remained
 Was buried deep beneath the surface
 
 ♪
 A shell of what things could have been
 Tired bones beneath the veil
 Of guarded secrets all too frail
 Sad to think I never knew
 You were searching for the words
 For the moment to emerge
 Yet the moment never came
 You couldn't risk my fragile frame
 Until one day you stopped caring
 And began to forget why you tried to be so close
 And you disappeared into the darkness
 And the darkness turned to pain
 And never went away
 Until all that remained
 Was buried deep beneath the surface
 ♪
 I would scream just to be heard
 As if yelling at the stars
 I was bleeding just to feel
 You would never say a word
 Kept me reaching in the dark
 Always something to conceal
 ♪
 Until one day I stopped caring
 And began to forget why I longed to be so close
 And I disappeared into the darkness
 And the darkness turned to pain
 And never went away
 Until all that remained
 Was buried deep beneath the surface
 Beneath the surface
