If Only Somebody Loved You

Heart heavy as lead, can't feel the sun through the shade

Locked in this room, mind stuck in replay

Echoes of silence, my thoughts barricade

Walls closing in, dreams start to decay

Empty promises float like ghosts in the hall

Hollow whispers, never meant much at all

Wishing on stars that don’t ever fall

Faded memories, got me feeling so small

If only somebody loved you like the rain loves the earth

Wash away the tears, give your sorrow a rebirth

Hold you in the night, give your ache some worth

If only somebody loved you from the depths of your birth

Late night confessions, ink on broken pages

Pain penned down as it echoes through ages

Heartstrings plucked, no sweet melodies, just cages

Cold in my core, living through the stages

Stardust dreams, swept away by the tide

Empty echoes of love, now just scars inside

Voices in my head whisper tales of the night

If only somebody loved you, held you tight

Wandering the maze, lost without a guide

Shadows cast long, where does hope reside?

If only somebody loved you, trailed by your side

In this desolate place where the lonesome abide
