(Yeah)
(Mmm, it's just me and the silence again)
(Oh)
I'm staring out the window at the rain on the glass
Watching all the people as they're moving so fast
I’m just a thinker in a world that’s gone cold
Trying to rewrite stories that I’ve already been told
It’s heavy on my chest, this weight that I carry
Trying to find a purpose in a world that’s so scary
I’m barely holding on, standing on the edge of the line
Searching for a reason just to give it some time
How do you survive when you're barely holding on?
Living in the shadows, waiting for the dawn
How do you trust when trust's been betrayed?
And how do you stand when you’re made afraid?
Oh, baby, tell me how do you believe in better days?
When all the hope you had is just fading into grays
It’s a world that doesn’t understand you at all
Just waiting for the moment, waiting for the fall
How do you open up when the walls keep you safe?
Locked inside a fortress, running from the chase
I’m hiding all the pieces that I’m scared to show
Deep inside the silence where the secrets grow
I’m made to hide, yeah, that’s where I stay
Watching all my dreams just drifting away
It’s a lonely road, but I’m walking it slow
There’s so much more that I’m trying to know
How do you survive when you're barely holding on?
Living in the shadows, waiting for the dawn
How do you trust when trust's been betrayed?
And how do you stand when you’re made afraid?
Oh, baby, tell me how do you believe in better days?
When all the hope you had is just fading into grays
It’s a world that doesn’t understand you at all
Just waiting for the moment, waiting for the fall
I need you to tell me, can anyone see?
The parts of the world that are hidden in me?
(Come here)
It's cold in the dark, but I'm searching for light
I'm fighting the ghosts in the middle of the night
Mmm, yeah, it's a long way down
Maybe the answer is buried in the pain
Like flowers that are blooming in the middle of the rain
I’m learning to breathe, I’m learning to heal
Searching for a truth that is actually real
Even when the world doesn’t get who I am
I’ll find my own strength, I’ll find my own plan
How do you survive when you're barely holding on?
Living in the shadows, waiting for the dawn
How do you trust when trust's been betrayed?
And how do you stand when you’re made afraid?
Oh, baby, tell me how do you believe in better days?
When all the hope you had is just fading into grays
It’s a world that doesn’t understand you at all
Just waiting for the moment, waiting for the fall
How do you survive?
(Mmm, how do you stand?)
It’s a world that doesn’t understand you
(Oh, baby)
I’m still here, yeah
Just waiting for the light
(I need you)
How do you?
How do you?
(Fade out)
