Years ago I used to wander

Felt so wonky on my knees

I was feeling down and tired

Always looking for relief 

And for a savior

Who'd finally raise my darkest thoughts

To the sun 



I used my teardrops

To wash myself clean

I had no restrain

Now I won't be no more waiting in vain

I know that I won't miss my train 



Yet the mood I'm in is frailty

You're my force and my despair

Will oblivion always help me

Will you always be fair? 



How many black nights

Of cold and ice that stroke me right

To the bone 



I shed my teardrops

To make more room inside and let you in

Scared by the thought of going insane

Those fears have been wasting my brain 



Years ago I used to wander

Still I can't depend on you

But it's hard to make my own way.
