I force my tears to fall

By hearing sorrowful music

I empathized with others

Just to subside my own feelings

I know I'm so pathetic

But you would feel the same

If you were in my place



The numbness grows wilder

The more I hold it within

They ask me why I'm sad

Even when there is nothing

I know I'm cribbing over this life that could have been worse

I know I'm so pathetic

But you would feel the same

If you were in my place



I wish they could understand

That nothingness can be all the reason

I take a deep breath

I do it all over again

Seems like I'm stuck

In a loop that never ends

I know it's a choice

But for some it isn't

I know I'm so pathetic

But you would feel the same

If you were in my place



This unending despair

This hollow feeling

Of emptiness consumes me

Spreading like ink

On a wet sheet

Leaving a stain

Making it bleak

Hard to distinguish

Everything seems blurry

I know I'm so pathetic

But you would feel the same

if you were in my place.


My dreams are now nothing

But nightmares

My expectations are nothing

But false hopes

I'm walking with burden

Not mine to carry

Even the little air I take

Struggles to be free

I know I'm so pathetic

But you would feel the same

Only if you were in my place.
