On this cold and rainy day,
Lackadazily lying around
And feeling so down and out,
Needing to cry but refusing to.
I'm trying my best to see
A little good in this old life of mine.
Crying with the rain,
Taking in all the pain,
Hiding from my feelings,
And this life of mine.
Even when the sun does shine,
I feel so awfully alone
With just memories from the past
And losing them along the way.
I try a little harder to see
If there is a future for me.
Watching these lonely days,
Drag by oh so slow.
Hiding my feelings
And this life of mine.
I want to sing a glorious song,
But my mind won't let go,
And I think I can't go on
Knowing the things I know.
I try so hard to feel
All the things I know I should.
Wondering if maybe someday
Will come my very way
And stop me from hiding
This old life of mine
There isn't a thing I can do,
But wait for the sun to shine
And bring a little life into me.
I know someday soon love will lift me
And I will try so very hard with this life of mine.
Wishing only hurts
Because they never come true.
I can only wait and hope
With this life of mine.
