does fate exist?
or is it just a curse
some people move on and some stay the same
i start to wonder which is worse

we follow different paths
with different lengths and different curves
i know there is a winning end
but why did you have to get there first

all i want is a reason
'cause i feel you're still alive
here with me, as i lie awake through the night
i'll say goodnight, but not goodbye
i'll say goodnight, but not goodbye

death is a burden on the soul
drowns you through the cold night
feelings of a dark, dark tunnel
with no light or end in sight

days go by and then the sun shines through
before hope, faith and courage die
but the pain still numbs my skin, the wounds scar
emptiness remains in my heart

all i want is a reason
'cause i feel you're still alive
here with me, as i lie awake wondering why???
i'll say goodnight, but not goodbye
i'll say goodnight, but not

it can't be
all the life, all the memories
leave only dust and ashes here with me
i watch you blow away
as tears stream down my face

all i want is a reason
'cause i feel you're still alive
here with me, as i lie awake wondering why???

all i want is a reason
'cause i know you're still alive
here with me, as i lie awake through the night
i'll say goodnight, but not goodbye
i'll say goodnight, but not goodbye
