lyrics

"Am I a striking scar,
Or just another faint scratch?
I ran so far,
Now I'm impossible to catch.
Keep me up in the clouds,
'Cause I don't wanna come down.
Then I'll know I never mattered,
No one wants me around.

Do me a favor,
Get me out of my head.
Let me feel a little pain,
Let me know I'm not dead.
They say that they love me,
I can't trust that they're genuine.
I'll push you all away.
I'll just keep running.

Just give me a reason,
Give me something to believe in.
I'm sick of living with a dream
That I can't trust.
Stay for just one season,
Can't go on if you keep leaving.
Help me reach for the stars,
That I know I'll never touch.

I can scream, I can cry,
But I guess no one's ever listening.
I can't live, but I can't die,
Why am I so afraid of everything?
This path is getting darker with every step that I take,
And I don't want to give in to this.
I don't want to break.

Just give me a reason,
Give me something to believe in.
I'm sick of living with a dream
That I can't trust.
Stay for just one season,
Can't go on if you keep leaving.
Help me reach for the stars,
That I know I'll never touch.

And you have tried
To end your life
So many times
I can't deny,
But in my spite
I check my pride,
I found a future.
It seems hopeless,
Just emptiness,
But don't forget
Through all of it
You may regret
What you have said
But it gets better.

But you get better.

Just give me a reason,
Give me something to believe in.
I'm sick of living with a dream
That I can't trust.
Stay for just one season,
Can't go on if you keep leaving.
Help me reach for the stars,
That I know I'll never touch.

Help me reach for the stars that I know I'll never touch."
