Stille Tränen (Silent Tears)

Chorus

Why wasn't I ever blessed

A happy home to call my own

A wife to love

The kids I keep dreaming of

Inside I am all alone

Strong facade is just a lie

Post-Chorus

Oh oh

Alone tonight

Mm mm

Verse 1

Growing older now

Pain is leaking through my eyes

Cannot hide the hollow truth

Silence in this empty youth

Nobody else is standing here

Just the shadow of a man

Chorus

Why wasn't I ever blessed

A happy home to call my own

A wife to love

The kids I keep dreaming of

Inside I am all alone

Strong facade is just a lie

Post-Chorus

Oh oh

Alone tonight

Mm mm

Verse 2

When they go away

Mama and the family tree

Who will hold my tired hand

Living in a broken land

Messy world makes me shake my head

Tossing in a vacant bed

Bridge

Born to be the helper

Fixing up a smile for you

Watching everyone find their light

While I shiver through the night

Life feels like a misery

What does that say about me

Chorus

Why wasn't I ever blessed

A happy home to call my own

A wife to love

The kids I keep dreaming of

Inside I am all alone

Strong facade is just a lie

Post-Chorus

Oh oh

Alone tonight

Mm mm

Hook

Chosen few

Just one of God's chosen few

But the cost is me

The cost is being lonely

One of the few

The chosen few
