Today, I tried to comfort my 13 year-old self,
But there was nobody there, nobody listening.

It's so cold over there,
So lifeless and sad.
And come to think of it,
I'd rather be mad.

She cries in the middle of the night, hoping one day things would be different.
Then wonders "what if" and suddenly she's indifferent.
And there's nobody there, nobody listening.

I try to make this life as vibrant as can be
For her to finally see
That this is as good as it's gonna get
And that there's nothing she should regret.

But still she storms off in the middle of the night,
Screaming:
"Is anybody there, anybody listening?"

her spirit's broken,
scarred, and sore. she's too damaged
to care any more.

do you really think
that i'm pretty, or are you
just pitying me?

"just wait, it'll be
alright." i'm struggling just to
make it through the night.

hold me close, tell me
you love me, even if you
don't really mean it.

you are beautiful,
and worth more than you ever
could have imagined.

i go to bed with you,
knowing full well that i will
wake up all alone.

insomnia strikes,
she denies me my escape
from reality.

memories of you
hang above my head, do you
ever think of me?
