Carry this around Can't escape anxiety Hopelessness surrounds Can't release it's hold on me Wandering abandonded, to shadows I keep (to shadows I keep) Bound to the alleys and empty streets Weak to move on as I keep on looking back Betrayed by myself Give me a reason to live Or a second chance to be desired Always on the run I can feel their eyes on me Can't trust anyone And why should they have trust in me God, what have I done? This wasn't how it's supposed to be I didn't have a choice Augmented life was forced on me Falling apart, I just want to be numb Strung out on meds, what have I become? Give me a reason to keep on looking back Betrayed by myself Give me a reason to live Or a second chance to be desired My love (my love) My love I witness the beatings The hate without meaning I'm losing the strength to fight I'm fighting the pain As I cover my shame And I'm losing the strength to go on ♪ As I reach for the sky And beg for an answer I scream to the night It echoes in silence It withers in the cold It suffocates the soul And reminds me of the truth That we're all alone Betrayed by myself Give me a reason to live Or a second chance to be desired My love (give me a reason to live) (Or a second chance to be) My love My love
