You asked what happened
I replied only the truth.
                                             The truth.

What’s wrong you whispered
             I said it’s of no concern.

I looked into your eyes
And they were trying to tell me
         That you want to help me
But I think that
                           I’ve already died

You repeat, repeat
Over and
                 over again
“Please stay with me.”
                       & I don’t understand,
Cause I know that you can’t
even save me/

So when I walk alone
I hope that you can take the time to understand
That I'd much rather prefer to be on my own.

            & Tonight the sun never set,
It just stayed in the sky.
                                            Stayed in the sky.

But there was darkness all around me;
               & inside of me fear
And even with you here
                           beside me
I am alone.
I am alone on this weary road.


The sun beat down on the wild flowers,
the pigment so orange,
my eyes could almost taste it....
& yet
              You just keep talkin and talkin
your words don’t mean nothin’
          So I keep walkin and walkin
Don’t know where I’m goin
But I know that I’ll get there,
                                                 I’ll get there.

Cause there ain’t nothin in this life
                 that is fair

So we push ourselves further and further
To the middle of no where--
                                   Proclaiming it is where we want to be;
That nothing will ever compare,
        But no matter where we breathe,
We are still breathing
                                      air.
