The 1. Left Behind

I’m cryin’ out to the world- why can’t you hear me
Someone keeping the score- has got it wrong
everyone I loved_ has died before me
I struggle with any reason- to just go on

I’m the one they left behind- to carry on
The one that’s not that strong- I lost my way
Lit the match, struck the flame- burned the bridges along the way
and I don’t believe- in love today

I’m cryin’ out to the world-why can’t you save me
where’s the hand of faith-in my despair
everyone I loved-has died before me
I struggle with any reason-to be here

To know the depths of darkness-to see the end
imploding grief and haunting dreams- are my best friend
someone wake me up- and say it’s just a dream
the way I’m feeling in my skin- I want to scream

I’m cryin’ out to the world-why can’t you hear
strangers hand outstretched-along the way
friends that were of comfort-are not here now
I can’t believe-that love could ever stay

I’m cryin’ out to the world-why can’t you hear me
