It's close to midnight In my mind it's dawn The same old memories Haunting me once more Reliving my past All the good and the bad Searching for endings That I never had Hold me close And let me cry Don't say a word Or even wonder why At night I barely sleep I wake out on the edge Always running in the dark You want to help me I'd like to let you in But I don't know where to start I'm not afraid To walk alone I've been doing it All my life All the pain I have known Isn't darkness It's my light Guiding me To become Who I want to be Don't ask me why Please just hold me close And let me cry You should know that Despite the things you will see That I'm not broken Don't try to fix me I'm up for sharing All my monsters within It's kinda ugly So before we begin Hold me close And let me cry Don't say a word Or even wonder why Daddy was a beater and Mum she died too young I was never good enough As I got older I came to realise I'm the only one I trust I'm not afraid To walk alone I've been doing it All my life All the pain I have known Isn't darkness It's my light Guiding me To become Who I want to be Don't ask me why Please just hold me close And let me cry
