When I heard malcolmthebear sing this, I thought that this is truly a Birch song.
But I needed to put up the latest chapter before I posted this.
I changed the lyrics slightly to match Birch's situation.
Backing track purchased on http://www.karaoke-version.com . Original song written by Alan Menken with Lyrics by Tim Rice.
I was the one who had it all I was the master of my fate I never needed anybody in my life I learned the truth too late
I'll never shake away the pain I close my eyes but she's still there I let her steal into my melancholy heart It's more than I can bear
Now I know she'll never leave me Even though she ran away She will still torment me, calm me, hurt me Move me, come what may
Trapped here in my mental tower Waiting for an open door I'll fool myself she'll walk right in And be with me for evermore
I rage against the trials of love I curse the fading of the light Though she's already flown so far beyond my reach She's never out of sight
Now I know she'll never leave me Even though she's gone from view She will still inspire me, be a part of Everything I do
Trapped here in my mental tower Waiting for an open door I'll fool myself she'll walk right in And every night as they begin I'll think of all that might have been Waiting here for evermore!
