Ballad (Charades)
Lyrics by Steven McLachlan to music by Mark Sheeky.

I wake up.
In the depth of night
I hold myself and try
to keep on with the lie that I
will be fine without you.

Between us.
There is just some walls.
It's so dreadful I cry.
But there is nothing I can do.
Except to forgive you.

My heart breaks.
Your heart breaks.
Let's give this one last try.

You say that you are just
so scared, but love me just the same,
then tell me why we play charades?
I would never hurt you.

My heart breaks.
Your heart breaks.
Let's give this one last try.
