Why is everything as bad as it appears?
I'm a puzzle piece but I don't fit here
I have laid awake and bathed in my own tears
I'm my own shadow, does anybody understand

Chorus
So I'm down, but I'm holding on
I'm hanging onto life and I ain't letting go
I've been weakened, but I'll get strong
It's these second chances that tell me I am not alone

Here's another day and I tremble in my skin
This pain inside of me has found a home within
I can't seem to run away, it's always two steps behind
Maybe things will change? Maybe it takes time

Chorus

Why do we say 'good morning" if the days just turn out bad
I miss that wanted feeling yet it's one I've never had
I can't recall the last time that I woke up with a smile
But I'll smile again some day, does anybody understand?...

Chorus
(X2)
I'm holding on, I'm not alone
I'm holding on, I'm not alone
