She sits at the end of her bed, a million thoughts rushing through her head yet she sits there, blankly staring into nothing, something,… staring deeply, intently into the frozen wall in front of her. Her eyes locked, fixed on one spot, a tiny spec of dirt among a white canvas, and she can almost feel exactly how that spec must feel. Worn… tired… exhausted… alone, so alone, but fighting still as she does against the world everyday, against herself. The battle raging hard within…, harder, stronger, effortlessly on and on… and on. Over, and over again. Continuously, until she breaks.
Shattered into a million pieces before herself… and before the world. A side show on display for everyone to see, but who really sees it? She is the tears, the dirt, the mud… on the bottom of your shoe that you never thought twice about stepping in. Yet even on the bottom of your shoe, she stares onward… forever onward into her future, whatever future she can make for herself.
She worries, scared, tired alone… with her head against a flattened pillow every night, waiting… wondering, when that day will come… when she can stand strong… when she can smile without wanting to cry… when she can laugh without wanting to hide… when she can finally truly say she‘s done… when she can breathe a sigh of relief… that day when she can look into his eyes and know that it’s over… the day… when she feels nothing.
The day when she is empty… out of love.
When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse.
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
"Just what your worth"
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream, down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face and I...
Tears stream, down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face and I...
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
