Burning

You're begging for the universe
To hear your cry of loneliness
Maybe your lucky star
Will bring some love your way

After all the prayers are said
The most devout must understand
They've failed again
Can't pray for love at God's command

Seeing through the lies you're told
A secret power that you wish you never had
The mirror says you're growing old
But does it have to be alone

The heart's flame is like a wildfire
Regretting all the wasted time and empty words
Why oh why oh why
Can't you find the love your heart requires

And the toll that it all takes
Makes you want to quit the search
Leave your empty heart behind
And live your life alone

But you can't
Or you won't
You say that you'd rather cry forever
Than live that empty life

Looking out for love
Looking in for strength
You know what you need to survive
Heart burning like a wildfire

Been burning so long
