The day my mother died My world turned upside down For days and nights I cried Until I was cried out Fear of abandonment Leaves me holding on too tight I'm asking you to stay the night I've been lonely for so long Living life in solitude Too proud for reaching out That changed when I met you When I look into your eyes I see the possibility Of starting over, you and me I was always running Running from myself Kept the world at a distance So no one could figure out I was too proud to cry for help Here's my cry for help Have you ever felt as if You never quite fit in Drifted in and out of life Trying to find yourself as if You were an actor on the stage Always playing someone else I love you most when you're just yourself I was always running Running from myself Kept the world at a distance So no one could figure out I was too proud to cry for help Here's my cry for help When I'm with you, it's all so clear We are where we need to be right now right here I was always running Running from myself Kept the world at a distance So no one could figure out I was too proud to cry for help Here's my cry for help The day my mother died My world turned upside down
