Don't wait for the perfect moment, take the moment and make it perfect.


I need to hide away

From all this rubble and dust

Just go and find a day

When there's someone I can trust

 

How many times I have fallen

And chosen to get back up

Woken up in cold sweat,

To find myself in tears

I pull myself together,

And choose to just act tough

 

'Cause life's a game of chance

And when you don't make it through 

It's like your in a trance

And when you finally come aroung

It's like they don't even know you

 

Everything is crashing down,

Stuck underneath all this rubble and dust

See the lights outside,

You come crawling out

In the middle of the night,

I wake up in cold sweat,

And find myself in tears

 

How many times I have fallen

And chosen to get back up

I wake up in the night,

To find myself in tears

So this time around

Ican't bring myself together

And choose to just act tough

 

The truth is that

I'm not who I am

I want even more

But I know I can't

 

Please, open the door

I need your help

I don't know where I stand 

Or if I can, still even stand

Everything is crashing down

 

I'm trapped underneath

All the rubble and dust

I need someone 

That I can trust

 

I am in trouble

And I think I know why

If I'm right

I might just cry

 

I'm trapped underneath 

All the rubble and dust

I'm buried now,

And I'm buried deep

The surface's too high

And I can't breathe

 

THe truth is that

I'm not who I am

I want more and more

But I know I can't

 

How many times I have fallen

And chosen to get back up

Waking up in cold sweat,

To find myself in tears

I pull myself together

And choose to just act tough

 

'Cause life's a game of chance

And when you don't win

It's like your in a trance,

And when you come around

It's like they don't even know you

 

Everything is crashing down

I'm trapped underneath

All the rubble and dust

See the lights outside,

You come crawling out

 

In the middle of the night

I wake up in cold sweat,

To find myself in tears

 

How many times have I fallen

And chosen to get back up

I wake up in the night,

I wake up in cold sweat,

To find myself in tears

 

So this time around

I can't bring myself

To pull back together

And just act tough

 

The truth is that

I'm not who I am

I want more and more 

But I know I can't

 

So please, open the door

I need you help

I don't know whee I stand

Or if I can, even still stand

Everything is crashing down

 

I'm trapped underneath

All the rubble and dust

I need someone, that I can trust

While I am trapped, 

Underneath all of the,

Rubble and dust

Sometimes I feel like I dont have anything to live for. So I wrote this one night about a month ago and it just helped me realize that there is still so much good in this world. You just have to take the good with the bad. :)
