They say they’re there for you
But where are they when it’s 3a.m
And you’re falling apart
When you should be falling asleep

They say they care for you
That they’re there for you
But their mouths just move

Where’s the actions behind their words
Do they really see me
Do they really hear me

I’m drifting off to sea
Rowing, rowing, rowing
But not going anywhere

The sun comes out
Like the calm before the storm
Now I’m drowning
Sinking further than before

I fight to get to the surface
And gasp for air
As I’m pulled back under
Further and further I go
To depths unknown

Screaming, begging, crying
I yell “no more”
But silence is all that meets me

Fake a smile
Fake a laugh
No one seems to care
Or ask

Who’s this girl become
So silent
So tired
So young

As long as you smile
And seem ok
No one will notice
As you fade from light

They say they’re there for you
That they care for you
But they are merely just saying words
