REACH OUT

i'm reaching out to touch somebody who's not there
i'm reaching out to feel somebody who won't care
i need to be alone with my dreams
i need to be alone and yet i reach out

and when i look into his eyes he fades away
and when i try to call his name i just can't say
the words that i need to say
i don't know what is wrong with me
i'm losing him to my insanity
and when i hold him in my arms he slips away

i reach out..
