Here we are, new year again. Sitting at a table, surrounded by friends. I'm standing in a group, listening to them speak. I feel like if I spoke, my voice would be only meak. You and me, we grew apart. Him over there, he broke my heart. I'm trying to work through, to keep a smile up. But it's only for so long, before your heart's had enough. I make small talk, hangout with friends. But it's not too long, before my conversation ends. I'm staring at a window, from the outside in. I'm speaking, I'm screaming, but I can not win. The window pane white, the glass so thick. The sorrow around me, is making me sick. I'm tapping on the window, I'm screaming so loud. At the top of my lungs, I'm begining to pound. The outside looking in, I see what's going on. The happiness, smiles, and things that are wrong. But enough is enough, I wanna tear it away. Let's break down this window, even if it takes days.

Outside Looking In
Here we are, new year again. Sitting at a table, surrounded by friends. I'm standing in a group, listening to them speak. I feel like if I spoke, my voice would be only meak.

I make small talk, hangout with friends. But it's not too long, before my conversation ends. I'm staring at a window, from the outside in. I'm speaking, I'm screaming, but I can not win. The window pane white, the glass so thick. The sorrow around me, is making me sick. I'm tapping on the window, I'm screaming so loud. At the top of my lungs, I'm begining to pound.
