If I could tell you how I feel, all these thoughts inside my head
You would probably run away or say your phone has just been dead
I can’t seem to get replies when I talk about my struggles
I still yearn for younger days when I was jumping into puddles  
I wasn’t scared of what’s ahead, I just took it breath by breathe
I was happy with myself, now I’m filled with loneliness
Don’t know how or don’t know when, I just know I’m not the same
I’d trade a thousand friends just for one who’d want to stay
I’ve been walking on my own for as long as I recall
My body merges with the trees but the wind won’t take us far
I cannot shake my roots, and the man that I’ve become
Can’t you see I’ve changed? I’m so uncomfortably numb
