Ah, ah... is this really okay?
I guess it’s a mistake, in every way
The hands that were cold are burning with heat
While the warm heart turns to ice, feeling defeat
Thump—the heart is sinking deep down low
Clack-clack—the train is swaying to and fro
I swear I had my reasons, in my own way
So why do I look like trash at the end of the day?
Is there even a meaning to being alive?
Am I helping someone else to survive?
If I’m just a nuisance, hated by all
I don’t know why I’m here, waiting for the fall
Should I just vanish? Should I take the leap?
A million times, these thoughts I’d keep
But inside this world, I can still see
Things that are left to be done by me
Swallowing the feelings that don’t feel right
Getting through the awkward air with all my might
Even when I’m on the verge of tears so blue
I’m only breathing, just pushing through
My words are becoming lost children in the dark
My life is growing dimmer, losing every spark
But even so, inside of me
Is something I still want to be
Is there even a meaning to being alive?
Am I helping someone else to survive?
If someone like me is just taking up space
Wouldn’t it be better if I left no trace?
Should I just vanish? Should I take the leap?
A million times, these thoughts I’d keep
But I felt that somewhere, someone might stay
Who would say they love me, in their own way
I wonder if the black paint, dark as the night
Can one day be covered over with white
Holding onto that one moment of hope
Today, I’m just breathing, learning to cope
Is there even a meaning to being alive?
Is it really okay for me to arrive?
Even for someone like me, I start to think
Maybe it’s okay to stay on the brink
But when I look back, I can finally see
There’s someone out there who’s needing me
So right here and now, I’ll make my stand
And won’t bring an end to it all, by my own hand
