Would you look into my eyes?
Would you read into who am?
Would you keep my darkest secrets?
Like a door shutting, you're a slam.

I can't be happy anymore
Everything is truly crazy
When it comes to caring
everyone around me is lazy

Will you be there to catch me?
Will you help me move on?
Will you listen to my story?
I keep crying every night, until dawn

I sit here in the dark
I sit here alone
I sit with whispers in my head
I sit in my own twilight zone

I feel like no one cares
I feel like no one is out there
Why do you sit idle
Give me some refreshing air.

How can you relate?
How do you know what I feel?
You haven't been where I have
You haven't walked in my heels.

The rain outside, it speaks
It speaks gentle words
Words I'm sure you won't understand
Words you haven't heard.

I miss the loudness
I miss that laughter
I miss the happiness
I miss the smiling after.

They make me compete
For each others attention
This shouldn't be a game
I want equal affection.

They don't notice anything
They don't notice I'm a loner
Stop and learn from mistakes
Be their owner.

They seem so desperate
Messing with minds
Confusing each other
Solution they'll find?

Doubt it, the ending is the same
Apologize, fight, repeat
Under emotional stress again
Everyone feels some defeat

Stop fighting so hard
Just give it up
There's no going back
Life is like an empty cup

I'm tired of “sorry”
I'm tired of the headaches
I'm tired of it all
Any longer, in half I will break.

Will you help me end it?
Will you help me stop?
Help me end the problem
Help me come out on top

I'm the victim
I'm the loser
I don't want to play this role anymore
For once, I want to be the user.

All they yelling
All the fighting
All the screaming
All the bleeding

It's done
Thank you for everything
You're the best
I'm finally winning
