I Am Only One
Memories fade into the silence
Haunting me tonight
With hope's last breath I take this moment in
It will be the last
Then morning breaks
And sunlight takes the pain away
Ever after never came
And I'm still waiting
For a life that never was
And all the dreams I lay to rest
Are ghosts that keep me
After all that I've become
I am only one
I am only one
I close my eyes and bleed this empty heart
Of all that longs to die
When faces lie and love will falter
I'm left with only time
And time will break
The dreams that take the pain away
Ever after never came
And I'm still waiting
For a love I'll never have
And all the dreams I lay to rest
Are ghosts that keep me
After all that I've become
I am only one
I am only one
I'm on my own here
And no one's left to be the hero of
This fairy tale gone wrong
As night will fall
My heart will die alone
Ever after never came
And I'm still waiting
For my heart to beat again
And all the dreams I've laid to rest
Are ghosts that keep me
After all that I've become
I am only one
I am only one
I am only one

I am with her because I-- I-- [ dammit! he doesn't dare to say those words, not because constance's unworthy of them. ] How can you be exclusive to another when this city's tempting you to do the opposite!? For quota or just to prevent anyone else from getting into trouble or for simple pleasure!? [ at the mention of said 'closest friend and ally', without recalling a thing from the past, that old ache comes back in a flaring emotion, hidden in a snide tone. ] You cannot be exclusive when there's a part of you that will long for more than one person... [ before he adds anything else, he looks away with eyes shut. unfortunately, at the latter, they shut way tighter. ]
N... No... [ a slow shake of his head. ] ... Is-- Is that how she had felt when-- when we were together the first time? [ a hand hides half his face. ] Wh-- Why am I here? I don't even love you, I do this for her, since she's so insistent for us three being together...
