So many nights I've laid there and cried
Blind to all the others that spend their nights...

Tonight a man told me
A tale about his life...

A messy place to start
Let's add more complications...

In a hallway or on the streets
tell me what you see...

Please don't look at me
with love and care...

A box full of memories
Left alone to forget...

fifth on my list
the look in your eyes begged for help...

Painted on the skin
an image of a smile...

**contains a foul word**
The price of your happiness...

Alone.
A deep overwhelming sadness...

Maybe redemption is to far away
trapped inside the things you meant to say...

Open arms, open hearts- sometimes love
can be where understanding starts...
