The sadness will never end
There’s no one who I can truly depend
The music’s blasting in my ears
But it still won’t rid me of my fears
The lights are out, the doors are closed
It’s my little secret; no one knows
It’s not like they’d care anyway
Don’t want to stay here another day
The happiness comes; then quickly dissipates
Can’t hold it in, the sadness precipitates
Not gonna happen; it’s not worth tryin’
I’m done with games, done with lyin’
Can’t handle it, I’d rather the pain be physical
But it doesn’t help, cause either way, I’m miserable
Looking out the window on a cloudy day
Not knowing what’s next, or know what to say
No more promises, or being led on
Maybe it’d be best if I was just gone
Harder and harder to fall asleep
Laying silenly between the cold sheets
Don’t see the point; it all seems shot
I can’t use somethin’ I just don’t got
Because when you minus one from one
With me, you’ll always end up less than none
