can it be...
That I can have that life
That life I once had
I need a change
A change to life, a change to me
Become anything but this
I have been searching for an answer
No response
What have I done wrong?
Why me, why now?
I have been wasting precious time
Give me a sign
Let me go back, to everything I truly needed
Everything I had
Can I ever go back?
To when I saw life clearly
To when I wasn't a ghost
Guide me through this darkness
Regretful of what has become of me
Can it be...
