I'm beginning to shed my skin,
my heart is weak, my body in a frightened curl;
I can't get up so
how do you expect me to save the world?

I remember dreaming of happy ever after,
I remember, but I know these days are gone;
I can't sleep, I can't rest;
I just lay here staring, praying for the dawn.

I thought that I could remember how to love,
but I think I heard the door to my heart slam;
I'm running, wasting time-
I've forgotten who I am.

Facing another lonely night,
not sure what or how to feel;
holding on in faith,
hoping soon time will heal.
