Hidden Pictures

When I feel lonely I will take your pictures out of my mind
And away we go…and away we go…
You look so happy when you’re with me as we talk about our love
And away we go…and away we go…

Though in reality you’re thousand miles away from me
And probably you would have someone beside you
I would have gone to find you but I couldn’t get it right
That was so long ago but seemed like only yesterday

But what can I do in the midst of all those you love?
This homely soul could never stood a chance to be yours
Yes, we weren’t even friends—to you I was just a face
How can you get to see inside my heart, so tell me why?

I…I’m so lonely…
I…had been lonely…
I…will be lonely…
Always…forever…

Throughout my empty days and nights you were the one who made it right
Yeah you touched my heart…and you made me smiled
I couldn’t think of daydreams good enough than me with you
Though you seemed so near…but you’re much too far…

As much as I would wanted to be a part of you
You’re always in the sun and I’m just a shadow
I’ve watched you through the thick and thin of our fleeting years
Your smile would always lit my life for the better part

But what can I do in the midst of all those you love?
This homely soul could never stood a chance to be yours
Yes, we weren’t even friends—to you I was just a face
How can you get to see inside my heart, so tell me why?

I…I’m so lonely…
I…had been lonely…
I…will be lonely…
Always…forever…

So here’s my resignation note to all my shattered hopes and dreams
And the tears, the sighs…and the silent stares
And I will always be with you my darling memory of old
And away we go…and away we go…
And away we go…and away we go…

And away we go…and away we go…
And away we go…and away we go…
