Things left alone will rot that way, eventually be forgotten
When left alone we rot that way and wish it could be forgotten
Whoever said love is just a game evidently never played it
Her memory lives forevermore, for nothing will it be traded
So here I sit in bonds of sorrow, it really never should have ended this way
Isolated, there's no tomorrow, in this dark I can't tell night from day
My asylum, my asylum
Images surface in my eyes of times that are gone forever
Her soft arms folded 'cross my chest, the days when we were together
How I would look into her bright blue eyes and lose myself inside them
But now she's gone and I sit alone in my inner asylum
So here I sit, the key's been thrown away, forever locked inside this living death
So far away yet still so close to me and she'll be here until my final breath
My asylum, my asylum, my asylum, my asylum
