Praying for myself These thoughts I try to hide I have faith in me, and hope this will survive But it's tearing me apart I can't hear the words by which I guide So I must ask again, who will carry me? I cannot deny, nothing can defend From the helplessness that's cutting deep inside And I can't prevent the thought that nothing's real It seems I'm waiting years for this day to end The strength I need to feel, the pride inside of me Are not there behind the face that's staring back at me The anger and the pain of knowing where I am I have come so far and I cannot return Nothing I can do that I have not done No words I can say, no truth left that I can see So must I let this end, and everything fall apart? Before I live my life as I have always done Tell me what to do so I do nothing wrong Something I can hope for, something real that I can see So nothing falls apart, so this does not end I cannot return, I can't start again Nothing to deny, nothing to defend From the helplessness that's cutting me so deep inside And I can't prevent the thought that nothing's real It seems I'm waiting years for this day to end Praying for myself These thoughts I try to hide I have faith in me, and hope this will survive But it's tearing me apart I can't hear the words by which I guide So I must ask again, who will carry me? Nothing I can do that I have not done No words I can say, no truth left that I can see So must I let this end, and everything fall apart? Before I live my life as I have always done Tell me what to do so I do nothing wrong Something I can hope for, something real that I can see So nothing falls apart, so this does not end I cannot return, I can't start again Nothing I can do that I have not done No words I can say, no truth left that I can see So must I let this end, and everything fall apart?
