I just want someone in the world to understand me
and feel my pain for a day
maybe then they’d finally see
the unfair obstacles in my way.

They’d see I’m not who they always thought
I don’t have it all together, everything is shattered.
A father figure in my life is what I sought,
and at the time, nothing else mattered.

But then I left my home, my friends, my life
i had no idea how to make a fresh start
rejection was cruel, sharp, painful, like a knife
sinking all too quickly into my heart.

I just want one person in the world to understand me
and feel my pain for a day
maybe then they’d finally see
the unfair obstacles in my way

I screw things up, I’m so far from perfect
i hold everything in and i hurt in so many ways
sometimes i’m happy, sometimes i’m heart-wrecked
Why does everybody leave? How come nobody stays?

come and go, that’s how my life goes
take my pain and get rid of it
feel the highs, feel the lows
give me comfort, give me grit

grab the key, set me free, and
be the one in the world to see through me.
