This is how I bend and break

Try to fight the depression that I cant seem to shake

Living life on a rebellious edge

Knowning any moment I could jump right off the ledge



Trying to find a way to make life worthwhile

So I hide behind this mask and paint on a smile

Wanting to live for so much more

But it seems as if life is just a game, where everyone is trying to score



All I find is bitter lonliness sticking in my side like I knife

One wrong move could end the very existance of this life

So I twist and turn and feel the pain

I could resist its calling but it would hurt just the same



Burning from the inside, my soul is turning jet black

Somewhere in this life I was lead onto the mistaken path

Falling in and out of love

Just trying to find 'the one' sent from up above



I take chances, I play the field

But my heart feels far too broken to ever be healed

I will keep my secrets to myself, my lips are sealed

Don't look into my eyes, the truth can't be revealed



Dying to feel alive and yet I am merely stuck on trying to survive

Wondering where I went wrong, these were meant to be the best years of our lives

Days spent alone and nights are cold

Crying incessently because I had no one to hold



Holding the weight of the world on my shoulder

Another shaded day, darkened and grey

One day past and another day older

Just another reason for the depression to find a reason to stay



You say that I stand so strong

Yet you are unable to see the tears that I have been crying all along

Can't you hear how the music has died

Perhaps you would notice if you tried



I may seem to you a bit dangerous

I know that my ways may freak you out

But You havent been where I have been

Maybe then you would understand my doubt



Never will I be good enough

Try as I might I will never be as tough

You might not think of me as weak

Havent you noticed the times I tried to tell you how I felt, but just couldnt speak



Scared to let my heart out on the line, but more afraid that its you I could lose

Do what you dare, but live with what you choose

If you are willing, i'll take the leap and put my heart out on the line

Just be gently, please just be kind



If you would let me, I would love you till the very end

Besides, we started out as the best of friends

Never have I felt that I could trust someone as much

I know that I would die without your touch



So baby, don't break me,

Just keep holding on if this means anything to you

I am certain that we will make it, just you wait and see

Babe, I love you, that is why I have faith we'll make it through



So don't you shed a single tear

Soon I'll be there and proove we can make it through all our fears

I promise you that I would never leave

Look and you will see I wear my love for you on my sleeve



When your nights get cold and lonely

Just reach out to me

I will lend you loving hands

And when you feel weak,

I will be your support, there to help you stand



Just keep holding on, because to have to lose you is killing me

Hold on tight babe,

I promise you one day,

we'll break free
