When You Feel Like You Can't Go On
When you feel so lonely and can't sleep at night,
because everything gives you a fright.

My head is not right today.
I have no idea why it's this way.
It switches from one thought to another.

No one knows the pain I'm in,
For it's nothing a smile can't hide.

Like walking in a cloud of fog
Falling down, sinking into smog.
