Fickle Fortunes

It's lonely at the top
Money is bad company
I had the world when I had nothing
But someone to comfort me
But the situation changed
And I wonder why you're mad at me
Cause what we had was starting
To look just like a masterpiece
And if I'm wrong shoot me a note
To let me know you're coming home
Cause I refuse to ask someone I barely know
To come & keep me warm
Can't even describe
What this loneliness is like for me
And if we were so much in love
Why didn't you put up a fight for me?
Just can't fathom how I lost you
While trying to make a life for us
So now I'm out here searching
For all the pieces of us we lost
But I don't have time to chase this
And my energy is running low
While experiencing the greatest
Never knew I'd have to let it go
These late nights turn to early mornings
As I watch the sun rise
Can't help but break down in tears
Wondering who's staring in your eyes
Wondering who's laying next to you
In my side of the bed
And if I give up my dreams
Can I have you instead?
They always tell you reach for the stars
And I tried to grab them all
But I missed the most important one
So there lies my downfall
From here on my success will be
A double edge sword
Cause what success is truly success
Minus the ultimate reward?
These cold nights when I'm alone
I look up at the sky searching for our love
A replica, a hint, a sign
To help remind me of
But the only reminders I can find
Are the goals I have achieved
And the sickening thought dormant in my mind
That they are what made you leave.
