When All Is Lost
Slipping into the darkness
Where I never wanted to be
My whole body is numb
Trying so hard not to give up
Thoughts are spinning
Nothing is making sense
I just want to be left alone
But what I really need
Is for someone to hold me close
There is no way I can make it on my own
Wouldn't wish this feeling on anyone
Wanting to disappear
Not seeing a purpose to go on
All I can do is beg for a friend
One who listens and tries to understand
The worst thing for me
Right now is to be told I'm overreacting
Encourage me, love me
As soon as you look in my eyes
Recognize the pain, see through the lies
I seek your help, any amount will do
Without compassion I could be gone
Just like that, a life can be no more
