When I lay down to sleep at night I think of the day that has passed
I think I ponder I worry about the things that ache me inside
I don't know why but it hurts inside when I think of people and things
Maybe I'm just worried of being alone again like long ago
when the child inside should have been singing
Things aren't all bad at times
At times they're really great
But the bad keeps popping up whenever I think
On the outside I may look happy
But that's just the exterior I keep because I wish to keep others happy
so I hardly ever let them peek
I think what really bothers me
When you boil right down to it
Is being ignored is dying alone I just can't do it
I know it may be far off
But the thought is just too much
And the way things have been going it seems like my worst fear has struck
I try to focus on the good but the bad follows right behind
I need someone to show me
The light that lies behind the darkness of my plight
