Condemned

I'd smile for a thousand years

If you were to push away my fears, 

Contentment, joy and happiness

I would bring to chase the mess

That life threw at you, at me

I would walk each mile to see you happy

Robbing night of its darkness infinite

So the moon could shine upon the tarnished granite

Of the street you walk upon at night

I would be your guide when you lose sight

You would be my inspiration to all I write

I would hide the pain from my heart 

Just so from you I never have to be apart

I would do so much to ensure another beginning

Keep quiet when I lack the understanding

stay away a little to allow you to recover 

N'importe quoi pour assurer ton bonheur....

But all this, this is a dream, it won't be true

Yet if only you looked, if you knew

Yet I am condemned to being here alone

In this silence, because of what I have done

And it hurts me more than arguments and fights

It extinguished that little light

It killed the hope that I nurtured within

Yet I cannot begin realising 

That you were so close, so so close to me

Yet you saw nothing, little did you see...
