We come across people Some have known all our lives, some we don't even know their name But for those we know, they could be strangers We don't know if they're in any pain *This may be a person you know They're everyone around us They need help, they're sinking low* There's the girl with the scars on her wrist She's never felt good enough She puts up a wall keeping people from her She lets no one in, they can't see that her life is tough *This may be a person you know They're everyone around us They need help, they're sinking low* There's the boy with the black hoodie He uses drugs to escape He hates everyone No one can see his life is dark behind that black drape *This may be a person you know They're everyone around us They need help, they're sinking low* She tries to cut away the pain She's caught in the rain He tries to lose control of what he's feeling Little by little his sanity is fleeing *This may be a person you know They're everyone around us They need help, they're sinking low* All of this we may never know

Strangers
We come across people Some have known all our lives, some we don't even know their name But for those we know, they could be strangers We don't know if they're in any pain *This may be a person you know They're everyone around us They need help, they're sinking low* There's the girl with the scars on her wrist She's never felt good enough She puts up a wall keeping people from her She lets no one in, they can't see that her life is tough *This may be a person you know They're everyone around us They need help, they're sinking low* There's the boy with the black hoodie He uses drugs to escape He hates everyone No one can see his life is dark behind that black drape *This may be a person you know They're everyone around us They need help, they're sinking low* She tries to cut away the pain She's caught in the rain He tries to lose control of what he's feeling Little by little his sanity is fleeing *This may be a person you know They're everyone around us They need help, they're sinking low* All of this we may never know
