THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...)
pictures of strangers
in magazines
movies and TV
dreams becomes scenes
pictures of strangers
my company
now fantasy
is my reality
I left every door open
gave it all I had
trusted unconditionally
maybe I was mad
when you give someone complete control
they can do you so bad...
now I sleep with pictures
pictures don't leave me sad
I made someone my whole world
has this happened to you?
suddenly everything was gone
what do you do?
when you are left with just this question
why would someone do that?
now I sleep with pictures
pictures don't leave me flat
pictures of strangers
don't have to care
they can't take anything
they are just there
pictures of strangers
are always kind
and that is all I trust now
in my heart and mind
have you ever been
so lonesome you could die?
have you ever felt
nobody really cared?
have you ever known
someone who took your heart
and left it out in the cold rain
with just one feeling called pain
all alone going insane
do I need walls around my brain?
now I just want to know
why can't I have my life back
why hold on to my things when you let me go
my diplomas and original legal papers
that this world holds so dear
my writings and music that is one
big reason I am here
I gave you all my dreams
why keep them if you don't care?...
now I just want to know
why can't I have my life back
when you push me away
and you won't answer
what can I say?
now I sleep with pictures
cuz pictures... won't go away
pictures of strangers
don't have to care
they can't take anything
they are just there
pictures of strangers
are always kind
and that is all I trust now
in my heart and mind
now I sleep with pictures
pictures don't leave me behind
I Sleep With Pictures
