Letters to God


God, I don't know if you can see me From all the way up there Through all these floors Or if you even care But could you remind me that you exist? Cause when I'm alone, it's easy to forget And that you might just be my only friend When it comes down to the very end God, I don't know if you can see me But if you can hear me, Know I'm crying tonight Because my effortless life isn't worth a fight And when I go to bed tonight Will you let me wake up on the right side? And when I let my thoughts go Leave me with one thought I know And what's supposed to be life Is hard to understand And even harder to fallow If you're yet to have a plan This is the life of some glass child Frozen in see-through existence I know you can see right through me And so my false persistence Well you know all about me Now change who I'm allowed to be Cause I'm so lost today Now where's your saving grace? I don't feel blessed anymore Watching everyone I know walk out the door Why can't I go with them? I just want to blend in There's nothing wrong with that But you're stopping me from doing so And now who've I become I'd say myself, but I've lost her I can't help but think it's your falt Because you won't tell me how it's not And you probably don't deserve pain But this is the only way I can explain I just want to feel good (Nowadays) Let me, please, I think you should I feel like I'm trapped inside a box Can't get out cause there's a lock And if there's no puzzle Then there's no peace No obvious restraint harboring a key There's no answers to the questions I've searched all I can, there nowhere Why would it be that they're hidden? Why must happiness be all ridden? And now I just want to get it right Walk until I walk the line If it means going through hell It's already been that to get here And here is not a place I've tried telling you that to your face You seem to think it's for the best Maybe it is, if there's an end to the quest Could you make my life any less complicated? It's hard to be a good person with all the frustration It's hard to trust anyone with all the lost communication It's hard to talk to anyone when we all avoid conversation That's all I know how to say That's it, we'll call it the end. But, God, when I pray tonight Can I talk to you like a friend?
