I've lost every second because it has lost me,
without that guiding light I don't know who I would be.
I reach for the stars but they runaway, they runaway,
the only thing left to do is bow my head and pray.
I try and I try but it just keeps getting by,
the one and only thing that conceals any lies.
Any lies that I leave laying on my doorstep,
before I leave what sincerity will I have kept?
I stroll down my street only to greet the one that's living so unlike me.
He's an unshaven man eating out of a can sharing his meal with the flies around his filthy hands. I quickly walk away but my eyes say TO HIM,
"I'm sorry man, I'm not like you.
and I haven't been through what you have been through.
How could I be so selfish when I haven't been like this.
How could I be so selfish when I haven't been like this.
How could I be so selfish when I haven't ever been like this."
I've been upset,
I've whined and moaned,
but I have never been and will never be completely alone.
