The Face That Never Dies

When I am alone the anguish begins
Opening scars that never heal
Torturing myself with visions of you and wishing that I could be there.

People have told me it's time to move on - how can I move on when I still feel you?
Doorways keep calling me to be free
But I choose to follow my heart.

I try to find refuge in my ancient dreams
I clutch them but I know that they can not be real
Living on memories and hopeless ideals
Stuck in the web of my past
And though I feel that this is wrong, I'm watching the world move sadly by
And though I'd like to move along, I don't want to live the lie.

If somehow you ever change the way you are feeling
Could I take it?
Your flame still flickers in the dark of life.
