Sitting here alone

Sitting here alone
holding my legs against myself
as if to protect myself from hurting anymore
tears streaming down my face
singing a song i dont know the words to
feeling sorry for myself
waiting for a call to get me out of this place
sitting in the dark not bothering to get up to find the light
looking out my window
down the street
at the house where my best friend used to live
she still lives there
but were not best friends anymore
i had to try so hard to be someone else
that i forgot who i was
and who i wanted to be
i tried to fill an empty space inside of me
i had to travel so far to fill it in
that i forgot where i was
theres nothing for me to hold onto
theres nowhere for me to belong to
sitting on my bed
all by myself
trying to remember how to smile
as tears run down my cheeks
still singing the same song
the same song i dont know the words to
im so confused
why is everything going wrong?
could someone tell me where i am?
i walked so far to get away from here
that i forgot where i was
and where im going to
i tried to be someone else
to please my friends
my family
and everyone around me
I tried so hard to be someone else
that i forgot who i was
who i want to be
who i am now
i dont remember what i look like
even when I look in the mirror
i see a reflection
but i know its not mine
i wish there was something for me to hold onto
because im falling
i wish there was somewhere for me to belong to
because i have nowhere to go
i tried so hard to be someone else
to please everyone else
that i forgot who i am
i traveled so far to get away from this place
from every single face
that i forgot where i am
i have nothing to hang onto
i have nowhere to belong to
