So I found a reason to stay alive Try a little harder see the other side Talking to myself Too many sleepless nights Trying to find a meaning to this stupid life I don't want your sympathy Sometimes I don't know who to be Hey what you're looking for No one has the answer They just want more Hey who's gonna make it back This could be the first Day of my life So I found a reason To let it go Tell you that I'm smiling But I still need to grow Will I find salvation in the arms of love Will it stop me searching will it be enough I don't want your sympathy Sometimes I don't know who to be Hey what you're looking for No one has the answer but you just want more Hey who's gonna make it back This could be the first day of my life The first time to really feel alive The first time to break the chain The first time to walk away from pain Hey what you're looking for No one has the answer we just want more Hey who's gonna make it back This could be the first day of your life Hey what you're looking for No one has the answer they just want more Hey who's gonna shine alight? This could be the first day of my life
