Darkness everywhere
How did my choices take me there?
How can I afford closing every door
Wishing this was over?

A suffocating life
Every breath, a fading light
Reaching out to see
The better part of me
To make intentions right

And when all my hopes have fallen away
I think of the times I have to say

I live and I laugh and I hurt but I heal
Torn up inside, and I cry but I feel
No matter the tides you bring to me
Somehow they’re all meant to be

Never have to hide
When I see the other side
A feeling of rebirth, a satisfying worth
A gratifying life

And when all my hopes have fallen away
I think of the times I have to say

I live and I laugh and I hurt but I heal
Torn up inside, and I cry but I feel
No matter the tides you bring to me
Somehow they’re all meant to be
