Lost In a World
I don't look around me, I don't even really see
All the people in my life who really might love me
Because I'm too busy thinking, or just rearranging
the things in my head
Dreaming of better things I want instead
Sometimes I forget what is really real
Always pretending there's something else that I feel
I really have to wonder if I'm even really happy
If I'm trying so hard to be
Sometimes lost in a world that is so hard to bear
Waiting, just waiting, for the something else out there
And wondering about the damage that I may have done
To the person it is that I love
I've just been so numb, so empty inside
Daydreaming life away, so I could hide
And I wish I could stop it, I wish I could let go
Of another life, and just love the one I know
