If This Is How It's Going To Be

Loneliness claws, draws blood

Exhausted, emotionally deplete

Don’t know how long I can do this…

If this is how it’s going to be

The silence is deafening

My soul cries in agony

Being me has brought

Such misery

The mask of happiness is wearing

Pain has become me

Don’t know how long I can do this…

If this is how it’s going to be

Alone, even in crowds

Yet, wanting to belong

The claws have wounded badly

I’m losing my song

The song I once sang

Out loud, beautifully

The music is now fading

The rhythm, losing its beat

Wonder if I’ll make it through

Will I ever be free

Don’t know how long I can do this…

If this is how it’s going to be
