I think I'm gonna die
If I can't look into your eyes
At least one more time.
Each night alone is so long
And I can't keep being strong,
Even when I hear our son.
I'm determined to find a way
To see you nearly every day.
From your side I'll never stray.

Overwhelmed by this sense
Of perpetual loneliness
There's nothing more I can do
But try to make it through
I prefer my own little world
Where my hands are never curled
Into tight and angry fists
And I have no scars upon my wrists

All the stars in the night sky
Have disappeared behind the clouds.
I can see my whole life flashing by.
My silent screams for help were so loud.
But nobody heard.
Nobody heard...
All I'd wanted was someone
To help make the pain go away.
But I guess they couldn't see I was near done,
Struggling through each day.
But nobody saw.
Nobody saw...

You tuck your hands under your chin,
Trying to keep the hurt locked in.
You ball your fingers into fists,
And cover the scars on your wrists.
You want to block out the world,
As you watch where the blood has pearled.
You're wishing someone would kiss your scars.
Your tears are as countless as the stars.
You fight to keep from crying,
Though you're so tired of trying.
You feel trapped behind your lies,
And weighed down by silent cries.
All you need is just one person to see
That you're not as okay as you seem to be...

There's this heat in my heart,
It's nearly bursting out of me.
The joy bubbles up and over,
Burning away all sorrow.
I can't contain this feeling
Of utter bliss and warmth.
I'm being consumed entirely
Within the flames of hope.

It's so terrible to need someone,
And to be totally alone.
The loneliness washes over,
Drowning me in it's cold.
How can I ask for help,
When I don't know what's wrong?
It's all nearly too much to bear,
I can't go through this alone.

Where are you when I need you?
Why aren't you with me now?
It's so late at night, or early in the day,
I don't know when I'll be okay again.
The hurt is overwhelming,
The pain is crippling.
I wish you would hold me tight
And whisper that it's all okay.
I need you to say "I'm here for you..."
