I learned how to lose, how to stand all the pain,
Even though I could scream, I act all the same.
You tell me I’m brave, that I have to stay strong,
But what you aren't seeing
Is my dying soul.

As the rain is pouring down
It washes away my tears
For I cried alone at night again
While unable to sleep.

Do you hear the rain’s sad song?
It’s softly spoken words?
When all the other sounds have stopped
You hear it crying out.

It cries for all the people
Who can no longer cry alone,
Because throughout their life
They have been all on their own.

My demons haunt me in my dreams,
I can’t escape them, I cannot flee.
They lay before me all I fear
And remind me of it until the tears
I held back so long drop to the ground.
They’re falling so freely, hid only by rain
‘Cause the rain’s the only one
Who’s crying with me.

Just ‘cause I’m not going the way you intended for me,
Doesn’t mean I’m wrong, doesn’t mean I lost sight.
I still walk my path, though it’s not easy to see
If it’s leading right, or I’m getting left.
But what you can’t see, what you all forget:
I may be wandering, but I’ve not lost my way.

I hold back the tears that want to spill over,
My light slowly grows dimmer as my heart grows colder.
The world all around me, just dark shades of grey;
I cannot escape it, not even a day.

If I fall to my knees,
Mess everything up,
If I lose all hope
And am reigned by despair;
Will you be there,
Will you help me to stand?
Will you be strong for me
When I am all spent?
Or will you abandon me,
Like all of the others?
Will you give me your hand,
My friend?

The darkness of night,
The deep abyss of pain,
It swallows me whole
Until nothing remains.
I cannot escape it,
There’s no way out.
I cower in shadows
With nothing but doubt.
There is no light,
Not the tiniest spark of hope.
I’m surrounded by sadness
As I wander alone.
