Sittin' alone being afraid
Tellin' herself, "I bet Mother will come back today"
Sayin' her prayers, holdin' them tight
Reminding herself that God rewards the ones who fight
She wants to believe
Could someone save her please
It's lovin' she needs

(chorus)
And it goes on and on and on
It goes on and on and on
All the things she (he/I) feared for so long
She (he/I) wishes they were gone but they go on and on

Havin' a drink, takin' a smoke
Emptying bottles of broken dreams and empty hopes
Cursin' the world 'cause they don't understand
Hidin' his tears 'cause that's not the way a man should act
He wants to believe
Could someone save him please
He's down on his knees

(repeat chorus)

Don't bother listening
No one could understand me like I do
I'm runnin' in circles
Paintin' a picture of dark, faded blues
I am incomplete
I am finding the ground beneath my feet
I'm holdin' my heart, I can't show my fear
I'm turnin' my head because I'm too scared to show my tears

These tensions inside I cannot explain
These wars inside me, they make me hurt, they bring me pain
I wanna believe
Could someone save me please
I just wanna be free

(repeat chorus)

But it goes on and on and on
It goes on and on and on
