I remember a time in my life not long ago
When it seemed like everything was so perfect
I couldn’t tell that the intense bright glow
Was so false…How could I have thought it could protect?

The world that I had known from the time I was born
Was nothing more than an illusion cast upon my eyes
I didn’t know that the world I thought I knew was so torn
Or that everything I had been told all my life was lies

I remember a time in my life not long ago
When I was so happy to be alive
But then it happened in an instant
And everything I thought I knew was turned upside down

The normal order of things was gone
My mother, my father, my sister and me
We were no longer the way we used to be
And If I could I would do anything to have those days back
To put it all back together again that would be
That would be
That would….

But that isn’t how the world works

It changes so quickly beneath your feet and everything you thought you knew
It        changes       inaninstant
Too fast for you to even comprehend







And Now I’m left here all alone
It’s just    me       myself    and      I
Far away from the world I once knew
Lost amongst the mornings harsh dew

I wish they all just knew the truth
That I try and I cry and I scream
And it feels like I’m bleeding iNTERNALLy
Through all these years and all these tears

I’ve finally figured out how to be happy again
And even though these thoughts still try to haunt me
And I’m scared of the future and what comes next
I know that even when I feel alone
No-One-Is-Ever-Truly-Lonely
