There’s never a day when I can rest
It all falls apart but I’m trying my best
The darkness surrounds me, but I fight back
I hold onto the train as it slides of the track
I need to keep the tower standing up straight
I’m always concerned that I might be too late
I feel left out, but I know what I must do
Because I’m the only one that they can always turn to
I’m one of the pack, it’s where I belong
I’m the support of the building so I have to be strong
Please don’t leave me, I’m too afraid
There are just too many decisions to be made
Everyday it’s the same, I watch them fall apart
All because of a secret they keep locked up in their heart
Pointless hours of work, with nothing to show
The problems keep coming as fast as they go
In their eyes I see sparks that I’m missing in mine
I don’t understand, but go along like everything’s fine
But it’s not, now I’m being bound by an invisible string
I could break away at any time but then begin and end with nothing
I wish I could do more to help ease all the pain
I don’t have good advice but I’ll still try to stop the rain
I cup my hands, but the sand still slips through
It’s hard to separate what I know from what’s fake to what’s true
I turn out the lights and fall into a dream
Nothing makes sense, it’s not what it seems
I will not speak unless spoken to, I will not betray
I wish all the dark broken glass would just go away
Sometimes I feel separated from my little pack
I struggle in my confusion, trying to find my way back
I never know what will happen next
We don’t follow a script and we ignore the text
Why can’t they be happy?  How can I make them smile?
No matter how close we are, I’m separated by a mile
Just when I think I understand, things go and change
And the arrows falls short by my lack of range
I’m prodding the embers and taking a fall
I’m being stretched like elastic but I can’t feel it at all
They’re always right, and I’m always wrong
I’m afraid I’ll shatter into pieces before too long
I don’t have enough water to quench the fire
Even though I tell the truth, I feel like a liar
I hate myself because I can’t change fate
I try to hold onto the string because it might not be too late
I can’t be perfect, I can’t be the best
But at least I can make a little difference to the rest
dedicated to and

This is really how I feel right now. I wish i could make them happy. i wish i could understand *why*. I feel useless; I can't do anything right. TT_TT I really want to make them smile, not just the fake smile you put on when you laugh, the real smile you wear when you're happy, when your eyes laugh with you. and I would also like to know why love takes over your life, like 99% of it. not that anyone could actually tell me, because no one knows.
