Love In Vain

I gave my love
But it was given in vain
For now I stand
My heart full of pain

This anguish within
Almost too much to bear
Why do I love?
It's so unfair

A glimmer of hope
Do I dare keep it aflame?
Fantasy and dreams
Do I call out its name?

The smile is there
Haunting my day
If only I could escape
If only I had run away

My soul felt the laughter
Now full of tormented tears
Still grasping the dream
For the rest of my years

For this love
Given with faith
Will always remain
Given in vain.
