Looking Down
It's so hard to look up when you've been looking down for so long
When it seems like everything around you is wrong
People say it'll be okay, you just gotta stay strong
But they don't understand that you are weak
You've been crying for weeks
Close your eyes, but you get no sleep
That alarm clock beeps
Signals the start of another day
But you don't wanna leave your bed so you pray
But your tongue is tied, what do you say
And you can't save yourself, cause your in so deep
Like a swimming pool, 12 feet
You don't know how to swim, so you sink
You jump out of bed cause you fell back asleep
You try to look up, but you're still staring at your feet
