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

At least for the moment she really could let go of all of it, let go of the pain and anger, the betrayal and fear of retribution... and just be. And she knew... there was no one else in Duplicity that could offer this to her--only someone who had lived during bakumatsu, had been affected by it and possibly by her choices could offer her any sort of absolution that mattered.]
[It was likely fleeting, just as many of her emotions had been in the months since waking in Duplicity, but for the time being she wanted to revel in it.]
