Sittin' alone being afraid Tellin' herself, "I bet Mother will come back today" Sayin' her prayers, holdin' them tight Reminding herself that God rewards the ones who fight She wants to believe Could someone save her please It's lovin' she needs Chorus: And it goes on and on and on It goes on and on and on All the things she feared for so long She wishes they were gone but they go on and on Havin' a drink, takin' a smoke Emptying bottles of broken dreams and empty hopes Cursin' the world 'cause they don't understand Hidin' his tears 'cause that's not the way a man should act He wants to believe Could someone save him please He's down on his knees And it goes on and on and on It goes on and on and on All the things he feared for so long
He wishes they were gone but they go on and on Don't bother listening No one could understand me like I do I'm runnin' in circles Paintin' a picture of dark, faded blues I am incomplete I am finding the ground beneath my feet I'm holdin' my heart, I can't show my fear I'm turnin' my head because I'm too scared to show my tears These tensions inside I cannot explain These wars inside me, they make me hurt, they bring me pain I wanna believe Could someone save me please I just wanna be free And it goes on and on and on It goes on and on and on All the things I feared for so long I wish they were gone but they go on and on But it goes on and on and on It goes on and on and on
