They say it's darkest before the dawn. I'm going to need a lot of sunblock...

Sunshine

I don’t want to hurt anymore
Tell me where the sunshine’s gone
Take me back to when things went wrong
And if I can see through these tears,
Maybe I’ll change it
Maybe I’ll fix things
Stop that little nudge
That turns into a bump
That sends my glass toward the ground

Am I falling?
Have I already hit?

Is it better to hurt, or feel nothing?
I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know
What do I know?
Do I know anything?
Am I crazy?

Why do I feel like any empty bottle
All drained, worthless, pointless
What was it like, I wonder
To be full
Was I ever really full?
I can’t remember

I want to care
I want to live
I don’t want to quit,
Not yet,
But then,
What do I do?
What can I do?
What’s left?

I’m so tired…
So tired of walking down this rainy street,
Somebody stole my umbrella
And put holes in it,
Then threw it back,
I’d rather walk without.

But, can someone tell me,
Where has the sunshine gone?
When will I see it’s glowing face?
Smiling, reminding
It’ll be okay,
I just have to hang on
It’ll be all right
I just can’t stop trying
Stop fighting
And maybe someday,
The sun will come back out

Right?
