I am fighting a losing battle
I was never supposed to win
And even if I had the chance
I wouldn't know where to begin
I admit to the many mistakes I've made
I'm sorry and I apologize
But I guess I could never rid the pain
When I couldn't even hear your cries
So now I sit here all alone
In the darkness of my gloom
And in my mind I let you go
While sitting silently in this room
And now you are just another soul
I have lost alike the rest
But as I loved you the most
Please remember I tried my best
I could never hope, believe, or trust
As you say are love's greatest needs
So now I will have to let you go
And suffer as my heart will bleed
I trapped you inside my misery
Please remember I never lied
I'll have to let you go now
But I could never say good-bye
I love you.

But far too many of your souls are empty

The doctor told me I was fighting a loosing battle
I woke in the night drenched in
