Shadow Of A Lonely Man

Look at me now, a shadow of the man I used to be

Look through my eyes and through the years of loneliness you'll see

To the times in my life when I could not bear to lose, a simple game

And the least of it all was the fortune and the fame

But the dream seemed to end just as soon as it had begun, was I to know?

For the last thing of all that was on my mind, was the close at the end of the show

The shadow of a lonely man, feels nobody else

In the shadow of a lonely, lonely man

I can see myself

(Looking out of nowhere, looking out of nowhere)

But the sound of the crowds when they come to see me now, is not the same

And the jest of it all is I can't recall my name

But I'll cling to a hope till I can't hold on anymore,

And for all the acclaim I am all alone and I see as I look through the door

The shadow of a lonely man, there's nobody else

In the shadow of a lonely, lonely man

I can see myself

Look at me now, a shadow of the man I used to be.

Sad Love Letter - How do you heal a broken heart?

In our life there comes a time where we feel so much pain and loneliness, some can move on as soon as they shed their last painful tears, some don't even cry that much, some just smile the pain away yet there are some who can't barely even take a step to move on and still hold on to their last hopes even if it's nearly impossible to have him/her back. We all have choices and risks to be made we can either let go and take the risk of losing him/her or hold on and endure the pain. For many, letting go is the best choice but there are few who holds on, hopes, and endure the pains of holding on.. The question is, how long will you hold on?.. days? weeks? months? years? how much will you risk?... Holding on is like hanging on a tree, holding on to it's branch, giving all your strength, enduring every muscle pains so that you won't fall.. falling on the ground is not the painful part.. it is the pains you feel while holding on to that branch, just like the pains of holding on to something/someone you can't afford to lose, doing your best but it seems it wasn't best enough to make him/her stay and all you can do is hold on and wait... risking the fact that in the end you're just waiting for nothing but great pain. sad but true...
