Was there ever a time you were there for me?
Was it too much to know that you cared
You were lost inside I know that now
But sometimes I still feel like that child
Lost in life, alone inside my head

Through the screams that splinter me inside
I've lost count of all the dreams that died
But I'm stronger now or so I say
And although I love you it's hard not to blame
For the boy that's lost inside the man
Is it hard to know my pain mirror's your own?

How was I supposed to know life was never grey
With the weight of this sadness on me everyday
Never felt your embrace, soothe me through my tears
Not a reassuring word, to guide me through my fears
And it breaks my heart to see you cry
But I disconnected long ago when I died inside
Was I ever that child in those fragile arms?

I know you feel the loss

Through the screams that tore through me inside
I have no recollection of a time you smiled
I've seen the scares in us so deep
And although I love you now, I have nothing left to say
Won't you lead me to a brighter day
Were the sun peels away all this hardened skin...

Lead me to a brighter day
Lead me to a brighter day

Through the screams that splinter me inside
I've lost count of all the dreams that died
But I'm stronger now or so I say
And although I love you it's hard not to blame
For the boy that's lost inside the man
Is it hard to know my pain mirror's your own?

Lead me to a brighter day
Lead me to a brighter day
