Sometimes I wish that I could turn my back just shut my eyes.
Forget all about the late night blues,
And all those days not knowing what to do.
I struggled on and blocked out pain,
Lived to fight for those better days.
Now and then, I start to sink.
My mind in tatters, back on the brink.
I'm seeing red but I'm not angry.
I hit the ground and these autumn leaves surround me.
I struggled on and blocked out pain,
I lived to fight for those better days.
Now and then, I start to sink.
My mind in tatters, back on the brink.
I'm seeing red but I'm not angry.
I hit the ground and these autumn leaves surround me.
I struggled on and blocked out pain,
I lived to fight for those better days.
As the cycle ends I realise:
When summer comes I'll be home again.
