Try

Sometimes i feel like

falling asleep

wanting to feel like

I am awake

but I can't stay

here

sometimes I want you

to let me go

wanting to throw you

and let me flow

but I can't fly

here

O

what is it like 

when

you

stop to care

O

what is like 

when

you

can't decide

for yourself

anymore

can't

decide

O

anymore

Feeling like something 

is still inside

wanting that feeling

to creep outside

but letting go of

something unknown

could be real hard for

someone that does

not know

how to even grow

how

to even

grow

O

I want to know

why I

O

I want to know

Why I

try
try
try

anyway
