Analysis of My only hope
My life is just running on it's way,
who asked you to invade my heart and stay!
Did I ever tell you to come and play...
..with my heart to leave it now,and hurt me to go astray!
Never did I expect anything...
only love in your life I did bring.
Didn't I tell you.. leave me not at any spring!
you just left me...and ..I lost my hope in everything.
All my loved ones that I trust and hold dear,
will neither live with me nor hear my prayer.
'You' - are my only hope.....
....that can lead me out of fear...
wish you would understand my tears,
and make my heart to cheer.
