Trapped in a well
That's what it's like
I am trapped in a well and I am screaming.
I look up and I see the light shining through.
I see your shadow.
Is that really you?
I scream louder.
My voice is hoarse. My throat hurts. My lungs are burning.
I start crying. I shake my head. I start climbing.
I am a fighter! I will get there. I will get there. I will get there. I fall.
I climb. I fall.
I climb. I fall.
I climb. Is that your voice?
Are you coming down to save me? (Save me)
Are you calling for help? Are you telling me to try again?
I can't hear you!! I'm falling. Tears are streaming down my face.
I see you moving around. Are you leaving?
Do you know why I'm here?
Do you see me? Do you hear me? Do you care?
Why aren't you helping me? Why aren't you trying?
Do you not love me anymore? I climb.
Tell my dad I forgive him.
Tell my mom I'm sorry I was never good enough.
I'm falling.
I love you.
I'm tired. Can I rest now?
Will you forgive me? Will you still love me the same?
Can I close my eyes?
I'm falling.
Can you hear my heart breaking?
Was that your voice? What are you saying?
I'm falling.
Did you think your heart could change my mind?
Did you think your heart could save my life?
I'm sorry.
