(Soft piano and strings, setting a melancholic tone) King Diamond Rock Nation Verse 1: I gave my heart, I gave my soul, Tried to be the man she could hold. But every word I spoke was just an echo, Lost in the silence, in the shadow. Pre-Chorus: Every night, I lie awake, Wondering what it takes. To be the one she turns to, But now I see the truth. Chorus: Silent tears I cry alone, Walking this path on my own. She doesn't see, she doesn't know, The pain I hide, the love I show. But I'm not afraid to walk alone, In this world, I'll find my home. Verse 2: I remember when love was new, When every promise felt so true. But now the trust is broken, Words of love left unspoken. Pre-Chorus: Every night, I lie awake, Wondering what it takes. To be the one she turns to, But now I see the truth. Chorus: Silent tears I cry alone, Walking this path on my own. She doesn't see, she doesn't know, The pain I hide, the love I show. But I'm not afraid to walk alone, In this world, I'll find my home. Bridge: Maybe one day she'll realize, The man who loved her, who never lied. But until then, I'll find my way, In the silence of another day. Chorus: Silent tears I cry alone, Walking this path on my own. She doesn't see, she doesn't know, The pain I hide, the love I show. But I'm not afraid to walk alone, In this world, I'll find my home. Outro: (Piano fades softly) In this world, I'll find my home, No longer afraid to walk alone.
