I don't want to be here
I don't want to belost in this world
Life is to short but life is too long
I'm not sure if I can carry on
Stuck in this prison and I can't get out
What's this life supposed to be about?
I've been right but I've been wrong
Not sure if I can carry on
Trapped in this hole
One lost soul, whats my goal?
I am weak but I am strong
Pushing and pulling along
Finally the light shines through
The first thing I see?
Is you.
