And there's been a lot of upsetting, very upsetting things That I can't allow to happen anymore I have to be like a soldier and march away 'Cause I'm very delicate in a lot of ways And things get to me, and affect me in a very adverse manner I don't need that, don't need that I feel now like "minus something", you know, I feel faded I don't feel like I'm all here And I think it'll come back, I hope it'll come back There's like a lot of color missing from the way I feel And from my face, and, you know, just everything There's some kind of zest, or some kind of life, you know That seems to be faded temporarily Because I've been so drained, emotionally, by a number of things That has to slowly build back up, and then, it has to be kept sustained It cannot be allowed to be diminished
