Love Alone

Mopping up the dirty floor,
Worry off my mind, I say no more 
I was going through some tough turns 
I watch the bleach and water as it churns 
Singing made-up songs as I do work on my own
Thinking of my future love, motivating me on the phone
Love alone can get me through these challenging chores at a faster pace
Love alone can make me feel not out of place and can illuminate my face 

Pre-ch: Change has been beating me up 
Currently, I've been holding in liquids like a cup
I need to remove the stain of vain from my weary brain 
I need to refrain from being that train that chooses the wrong lane 

Ch: At least I'm not the only one to have murky thoughts in my head
I don't wanna hear what you say, for I'm growing weary of listening and would rather rest on my bed
I have a different approach towards life - it's not so bad after all is said and done and that's not all
All I have to do is keep an eye on what matters most and be as tall as a prison's wall
I need to start cleaning up my act and distract myself from daydreaming
Compiling curiosity floods my mind - I wonder how it would feel to be in love again
I keep searching for someone far from my grasp...I'm silently screaming
My mind goes berserk with insanity that's hard to explain...will I ever be sane?

I am so caught up in the commotion these days 
Give me some peace because I crave a dose of it everyday...I should feel like the sunny sky, but I'm feeling like the icky tile...
Give me a round of applause for trying my best once in a while, running life's mile..cleaning up my problems that are in a pile...
Tell me why we have gone our separate ways? 

Pre-chorus
Chorus

I find myself, wrapped up in my solitude blanket
The warm weather is trying to weigh me down...but I'll keep on pressing on
I close my eyes and soar high in the aqua-blue sky without any regret
The atmosphere above is far fresher than below and I'm shining like the dawn

Pre-chorus
Chorus

The sun is gone and I disappear into the dark side of the moon
Watch me as I walk on the stairway to heaven with hope in mind
Stay in tune with the melody of merriness and release yourself from your cocoon 
Your determined eyes intensify with genuine appeal as you and I dance without a care...I just keep dreaming of a love I cannot find 
Love alone has made me a stronger person nowadays and I love the sensation that I get from it
Love alone has given me a bigger picture of how priceless and precious my heart can be through perseverance and patience - I'm grateful from the bottom of my heart I must admit
