Will you help me, I’m searching for stability
Can’t keep riding this rollercoaster for the rest of eternity
Been thrown onto this ride with a head full of uncertainty
Through the sharp turn, the ups, and the downs I must find an identity
All my struggles and success’s gathered knowledge but came up empty
I’m on rails no matter how hard I fight the road controls me
Pull me off the rails make this ride end abruptly
I’ll gladly lie on the side lines and watch my former insanity
Round and round covering the same thing for infinity

“Hello what’s your name, thank you for saving me
Why did you do it, help me and risk all that is free
You could’ve joined me unintentionally
So grateful for your selfless act of bravery
I must ask why, not out of fear of dishonesty
Your intentions where honorable surely
I must know to satisfy my curiosity”

Stupefied she answered that I was the hero to be
She told me that one day I would open my eyes and see
My eyes feel open she doesn’t know what I’ve seen obviously
She’s to happy and stable she’d never comprehend my story
She smiled and said “I cannot imagine such treachery
But one day you will see that place as heavenly”
Almost enraged but I was to intrigued to be angry
She doesn’t know how I once hurt so deeply

Her presence was enough to fill the emptiness in me
Her compassion made me shine ever so brightly
I loved her far past my gratitude, yet I felt I was hers to carry
She still maintained I was the hero that I was just not ready
I feared she was just trying to stop me from feeling guilty
Though having her to care so much made me lucky
I didn’t want her to keep acting so modestly
I tell her she need not hide the true reality
I know she was the reason I was now acting so strongly
Once again uninfluenced she said to me in a tone so genuinely
“My love, stick to your opinion but we all have our theory”

I now live a life so wonderfully steady
Nothing to tell me otherwise, I’m always happy
I never get knocked down, not even rarely
She took the clouds from the sky now it’s always sunny
But there is an emptiness hiding underneath the glory
On top of the world I feel like I’m unworthy
Without the downs the highs feel so empty
I finally see how I was living life so blindly
I must return to my ride that was my insanity
I can’t bring her she’s such a joyful lady
I show her my first tears and tell her I’m leaving with my heart heavy
She smiles at my teary eyes she had foreseen this destiny
“Now you know how it feels, to be without adversity
Will you be my hero and ride the rollercoaster with me”
