it's easy to cry when you realize that everyone you love will reject you or die

Too many feelings and nowhere for them to go.
the truth is
that I miss you so
A warnin' sign
It came back to haunt me, and I realized
That you were an island,
and I passed you by
Roaming through this darkness
I'm alive but I'm alone
Part of me is fighting this
But part of me is gone

How could she say to me
Love will find a way?
Gather round all you clowns
Let me hear you say

Hey--you've got to hide your love away
