Scared

I've been making hopeless wishes on burnt out stars
praying to fallen angels with broken hearts
fearful of what once was and what may come
I look inside myself and see nothingness compounded
spilling out through the cracks
and breaking me down once more

Somebody save me, i don't know where I'm heading
every turn is a dead end, every choice is wrong again
it's unsure to me if I'll make it out okay
losing confidence and losing my way
I'm scared of the path winding in front of me
so scared that I will be forgotten
I don't think I'm strong enough to handle life
not on my own, not anymore, I can't do it
but then again maybe I'll get through this
the only thing I really have to fear is fear itself
I might be shaken, but I won't let it hold me back
not today

I've kept a tight grip on what little control I have
wishing for a way to make it last
timid of the many paths I have to choose from
I search within my heart and find it terribly broken
shattered but trying to mend
then the stitches hurt me again

Somebody save me, i don't know where I'm heading
every turn is a dead end, every choice is wrong again
it's unsure to me if I'll make it out okay
losing confidence and losing my way
I'm scared of the path winding in front of me
so scared that I will be forgotten
I don't think I'm strong enough to handle life
not on my own, not anymore, I can't do it
but then again maybe I'll get through this
the only thing I really have to fear is fear itself
I might be shaken, but I won't let it hold me back
not today
