Reason Too Sad

Despair settles all around
Doubts, worries, scares mark out the land
Which way can normality be found?
Hazy shadows blur my view
All I have to live is you

Where dreams fall down
Where promises break
My mind cries out
Lost chances wasted

Despair sometimes engulfs my mind
Drowning my hope and killing my time
Though sorrow lives here I push it back
But when despair flares up I can't fight off its attack

I sometimes listen too hard
I sometimes reason too sad
The fool I know I am
Tries to find me in the stack
Tries to smile while I cry
Tries to bring light into my night

Sometimes I listen to the song
Sometimes I find the lyrics wrong
But this life is what I am
I just need someone to understand
