[Verse 1] It hurts to keep on hoping for a love that may never come It hurts to watch the others find the one while I feel numb I ask myself why it never seems to happen for me here As I slowly fade away, watching all the good things disappear [Chorus] Please take away this hollow hope today Before it burns and wears my heart away Please take away my fierce desire to be loved Before I break from what I'm thinking of (YOU x2) [Verse 2] I'm tired of carrying this LOVE locked up in my heart Pretending that this loneliness is not tearing me apart If I'm just meant to walk through life alone in this quiet space Then let me find some peace instead and learn to find my place [Chorus] Please take away this hollow hope today Before it burns and wears my heart away Please take away my fierce desire to be loved Before I break from what I'm thinking of (YOU) [Bridge] Take away this hope that someone's gonna choose me and stay Because it's cutting deeper every single passing day Sometimes the hope can hurt you more than being all alone So let me just accept this quiet world that I call my own [Outro] (Sometimes the hope hurts) (More than loneliness itself) Take it all away from me Just let me be in peace at last Or PLEASE just take me from this cold and lonely world
