No one knows how you feel

No one knows how you feel

No one there you'd like to see

No one there you'd like to see

The day was dark and full of pain

The day was dark and full of pain

You write help with your own blood

You write help with your own blood

'Cause hope is all you've got

'Cause hope is all you've got

You open up you eyes

You open up your eyes

But nothings changed

But nothing changed

I don't want to cause you trouble

I don't want to cause you trouble

Don't wanna stay too long

Don't wanna stay too long

I just came here to say to you

I just came here to say to you

Turn around, I am here

Turn around, I'm here

If you want it's me you'll see

If you want it's me you'll see

Doesn't count, far or near

Doesn't count, far or near

I can hold you when you reach for me

I can hold you when you reach for me

Your life is meaningless

Your life is meaningless

Your diary full of trash

Your diary full of trash

It's so hard to get along with empty hands

It's so hard to get along with empty hands

You're looking for the rainbow

You're looking for the rainbow

But it died not long ago

But it died not long ago

It tried to shine just for you

It tried to shine just for you

Until the end

Until the end

I don't want to cause you trouble

I don't want to cause you trouble

Don't wanna stay too long

Don't wanna stay too long

I just came here to say to you

I just came here to say to you

I am by your side

I am by your side

Just for a little while

Just for a little while

Turn around, I am here

Turn around, I'm here

If you want it's me you'll see

If you want it's me you'll see

Doesn't count, far or near

Doesn't count, far or near

I can hold you when you reach for me

I can hold you when you reach for me

If the world makes you confused

If the world makes you confused

And your senses you seem to lose

And your senses you seem to lose

If the storm doesn't want to diffuse

If the storm doesn't want to diffuse

And you just don't know what to do

And you just don't know what to do

Look around, I am here

Look around, I'm here

Doesn't count far or near

Doesn't count far or near

I am by your side

I am by your side

Just for a little while

Just for a little while

Turn around

Turn around

Turn around, I am here

Turn around, I'm here

Turn around

Turn around

Doesn't count, far or near

Doesn't count, far or near

Turn around

Turn around

If you want it's me you'll see

If you want it's me you'll see

Turn around

Turn around

I can hold you when you reach for me

I can hold you when you reach for me

Turn around, I am here

Turn around, I'm here

Doesn't count, far or near

Doesn't count, far or near

I am by your side

I am by your side

Just for a little while

Just for a little while
