The agonizing desperation for an escape
I can no longer sleep my babe, and it's too hard to be awake
The old road of drinks and pills, is what I will not take
Chorus
What's it gonna be that sets me free
What's it gonna take to get a break
I need to relax to be calm you see
Somebody help me to breathe
I sit and watch as people pass me by
The smile on their faces, makes me want to cry
I'm so tired of trying to be happy
It's making me mad
Crazy thinking of the joy
The joy that I once had
Chorus
With each day that goes by
It's getting harder to try
Bit by bit destroying my will
My will to survive
Now why's it gotta be so tough
Why isn't all their love enough
Chorus
