lost.

the summer sun gets mixed with water
and none of us can breathe outside
some of us just scream and holler
and some of us are kept inside
tell me why we’re so unhappy
when the grass is burnt on the other side
when did everyone stop trying
cynics stole our smiles

Tell me not to go
Tell me not to leave
Tell me anything
And I’ll believe again
Say that I should stay
Say it’s all ok
tell me all the ways
that we could be again

all the faces are familiar
and none of them will try to change
and the good hearts always feel so hunted
by someone else’s guilt and shame
everything was oh so lovely
answering to secret names
now we aren’t speaking the same language
how did we get to this place?

Tell me not to go
Tell me not to leave
Tell me anything
And I’ll believe again
Say that I should stay
Say it’s all ok
tell me all the ways
that we could be again

I lost you when I lost myself
And now I’m scared of everyone else
Help me try to find myself
Tired of being someone else
