I can't help but feel it
I know that you feel it too
There's no way around it
And I can't seem to get away from it
It makes my heart feel heavy
And my eyes watery
Is there something I can do to make it go away
This sadness that consumes me?
I need someones' help
I'm falling down a deep dark pit
And there's no way out
My vision's getting blurry
My hearing's getting faint
It's almost like dying
Only it never ends
The pain surrounds me like a cage
And I'm not the one who holds the keys
I can't help this
Why do I feel like this?
I don't understand
Nothing happened to cause this
I want out
Can you help me?
