I watch the rain pouring down
Resting my head against the windowpane
All I feel is bitter coldness
Darkness and despair
Life is almost always unfair
Disappointment rings in my ears
Love is almost always unrequited
Footsteps resound against the walls
Friends are almost always never there
Tacit bonds fade into the mist
They´re just out there to harm you
I hear music playing in the background
It´s hard to understand
Spent all my time trying
Laying it on the line
I´ve lost my every dream
And found it´s a bit like losing
A fragment of my soul
No one ever really loved enough to care
I´m just thankful for the time
Walking along dimly lit streets
Searching for familiar faces
Looking for a home
My fears are subsiding
But I´m lost and all alone
I don´t know who I am
It´s difficult to love me
I have a need to be on my own
I lift my face up to the sky
And there´s nothing but the rain.
