who am i to watch you sleep away
who am i to cry over your happiness
and this cross don't have to be yours
and this cross don't have to be yours

and i turned to see your face
but there was nothing there
nothing there but your eyes
your eyes that kept me watching
     looking for your soul that once was mine
still...all amidst this darkness of being alone

why do i still call you mine
why do i still feel the love i thought had died
and who am i to hold you
and who am i to fill the void that was in you
and this cross don't have to be yours
and this cross don't have to be...

...you.
