How long can a man be deprived of happiness,
Before he physically dies?
How long must I live without a will to live,
Before I write my will?

I'm burned, I'm a pile of ashes...
Inside.
And every gesture you make,
Every breath you take
Is another death...
Of mine.

How long can I breathe,
Through a mouth that can't smile?
How long can I see,
Through eyes that know only tears,
No wrinkles of joy, only fears?
How long can I walk,
On legs that want only to buckle,
And collapse?

I want to faint, I want to explode
I want you to know
I want you to see
I want you to care
I want you to cry
For me, For you
For the us that'll never be.
