Have you ever stopped to look at the world all around
Changing and turning without a single sound
Everyone seems to have it all figured out
But I have not and I've started to have doubt
I feel by myself, and I'm aching with pain
At every corner I turn, I find someone new to blame

I feel empty inside and no matter how hard I have tried
Tried to hide what I feel, to hide it inside
Keep it bottled up, where I think that it's safe
Well it just gets pretty lonely, no there's not enough space
I've been sad and I've been scared
I've been yelled at and I've taken every single glare

I feel like I'm falling deeper and deeper into the pit of dispair
Nobody understands, so my feelings are something that I cannot share
I've been pushed, I've been pulled in every direction
Except where I want to go, I haven't yet visited that section
I'm just a pawn for someone else's game
But I wish it was my turn, I'm tired of living in shame

When I walk in a room and nobody smiles
I see nobody to talk to, nobody for miles
It is when I'm surrounded by others that I feel the most alone
Because nobody cares how I've been, I'll never hear one of them on the other end of the phone
So I fall deeper, deeper into the dark
Will I say goodbye to this world without leaving a trace, not a single mark?

But wait, what is that, a flicker of light
Could it be that I'm not in the darkness, is there a reason to fight?
It may just be a flicker, but it can be so strong
It's name is hope and it'll be around for ever so long
Some times you may feel like you're broken inside
But come out of your shell, there just is no reason to hide

There will always be days when you feel like it's the end
You're tired of waiting and you just want a friend
You want it to be over, but it can't be, not yet
The silence is killing you, you just want to scream, your heart feels all bent
But as long as you have some hope, the smallest little speck
Try your best, don't give up, and the universe will do the rest
