Sometimes I lay awake at night, rejected by everybody
Because I've been caught in moments of meaningless love
Taken in by strangers and shown a familiar world
That I know I will never rise above

What have I been waiting for?
Why can't I pack my things and leave?
You brought me here, and left me in denial
But this world was never meant for me

Sometimes I sit alone and worry
And drink away the night
The cards are dealt, but I've no hand to play
So I sit until I see the light

It's borderline illusion
A sleight-of-mind I've played on me
But it's merely self-amusement
I'm too much in love with your treachery

I feel like my words alone are not enough
To change a mind
Change a heart
Fill someone with love.
I feel empty,
Like I'm going, going, gone.
Something's missing.
Until I find it,
I won't carry on.

I refuse to allow anything
To get the better of me.
I'm not afraid to face the truth
If it will set me free.

Though I'm young, I'm learning how to truly live
To look inside myself,
Inside my mind.
Times are changing,
And my heart keeps on breaking.
I know there's more to life than waiting.

I refuse to allow anything
To get the better of me.
I'm not afraid to face the truth
If it will set me free.

I press my hand to the window.
I feel the frantic heartbeat.
     Is that mine?
    Or the pulse of the world I long to join?
