Empty Decorations

It's a question of expectations..
When someone started to become an important feature in your life, bit by bit a certain kind of expectation starts to materialized. What that someone does or does not do starts to matter very much.

You should have cared..
You should have called..
You should be here with me..
You should know that it upsets me..
You should..you should..

Expectations.. why must there be any?
Because the heart beats faster and becomes lighter next to that person.
Because he has become a part of you..
And you would expect him to care for you the same way that you cared for him..

Life is certainly funny..and you never get any wiser..even when time passes by..

I wake in the dawn to showers of light
Moments of emptiness around
Floating away with auras of hope
But reality brings me to the ground

What can I do?
What can I say?
I need a place to hide away
Just for awhile
Just for a smile..
Just for the life I used to know
Where every song was filled with words of love
and not of anger..
Where did they go?
Why did they leave me far behind?

Cause I don't want to be alone
Living life all on my own
I don't want to live my life in isolation
Filled with empty decorations
Cause I want to be with the people that I know
Who will do the things I do

Making all my dreams come true
I don't recognize the shadows on my door
Although I have seen them all before
Because the only thing I really want
Is to be with you..

I look at the sky and it looks back at me
I can't hear the silent melodies
I know that I am here but yet I am lost
Blown in confusion by the breeze

Hiding my face, crying alone
I need to find my way back home
Back to the place, the wonderful days
Living the life I used to know
Where every smile
Was born out of love and sincerity
And every tear of everlasting joy

Cause I don't want to be alone
Living life all on my own
I don't want to live my life in isolation
Filled with empty decorations
Cause I want to be with the people that I know
Who will do the things I do
