i was the one who had it all i was the master of my fate i never needed anybody in my life i learned the truth too late i ll never shake away the pain i close my eyes but she s still there i let her steal into my melancholy heart it s more than i can bear now i know she ll never leave me even as she runs away she will still torment me calm me hurt me move me come what may wasting in my lonely tower waiting by an open door i ll fool myself she ll walk right in and be with me for evermore i rage against the trials of love i curse the fading of the light though she s already flown so far beyond my reach she s never out of sight now i know she ll never leave me even as she fades from view she will still inspire me be a part of everything i do wasting in my lonely tower waiting by an open door i ll fool myself she ll walk right in and as the long long nights begin i ll think of all that might have been waiting here for evermore
