He sings of suffering. His eyes hold the pain of living in sorrow.
The moment our gaze meets recognition flares within. 
We are tortured souls drifting in a sea of darkness.
He knows I have secrets that I'll never tell.
I am numb.
I am broken.
I can never be the guiding light through the darkness he thinks I am.
I have forsaken my past, I rely on keeping myself shut off.
I wish things were different, that maybe we could be each other's lifeline.
But destiny drags us down like an anchor.
He lives his life in the lime light of a famous rock star, and I live in shadows on the run.

I wished I’d known that before I fell for him, but now it’s too late.
