somber

------

i know i am precious,

but i never stopped hurting.

i only lived to please those who care.

my selfless intentions,

carrying my burdens,

and never caring how much it hurt.

now i am forever,

a singer with no voice.

i can no longer rely on my pride...

[chorus]

in their eyes,

i see their disappointment in me.

though they lie,

i can tell they enjoy hurting me.

[bridge]

i never felt prejudice.

i never stopped asking,

"what is it i am dying for?"

well let it be forgotten.

let it be buried.

i never wanna feel that way,

again.

now i am lonely.

now i am fearful.

but ultimately i am alive...

[chorus]

in their eyes,

i see their disappointment in me.

though they lie,

i can tell they enjoy hurting me.

it won't be forgotten,

the generousity.

it won't go unrewarded,

my humanity.

carry it all.

carry it on.

carry your burdens with shoulders out strong.

be all you can for everyone else.

carry it on.

carry all...

[bridge]

i know im inadequate.

i know i am hurting you,

and i guess i feel i am ashamed.

but now i can live on.

now i can live for,

a reason beyond self interest.

i can be happy,

but only for a short while.

and then i must turn back to dark...

[chorus]

in their eyes,

i see their disappointment in me.

though they lie,

i can tell they enjoy hurting me.

it won't be forgotten,

the generousity.

it won't go unrewarded,

my humanity.

carry it all.

carry it on.

carry your burdens with shoulders out strong.

be all you can for everyone else.

carry it on.

carry all...

[solo]

i see you all walking.

happily laughing,

and i am not there with you.

i walk by myself,

in the pouring rain,

without a place to go.

laugh at my sadness.

you always do,

i always laugh with you.

i am a stain,

on the full picture,

a tapestry of my good will.

now i am hopeless.

am regretful,

and i dont even know why...

[solo]

[chorus]

in their eyes,

i see their disappointment in me.

though they lie,

i can tell they enjoy hurting me.

it won't be forgotten,

the generousity.

it won't go unrewarded,

my humanity.

carry it all.

carry it on.

carry your burdens with shoulders out strong.

be all you can for everyone else.

carry it on.

carry all...

[bridge]

in their eyes,

i see their disappointment in me.

though they lie,

i can tell they enjoy hurting me.

it won't be forgotten,

the generousity.

it won't go unrewarded,

my humanity.

carry it all.

carry it on.

carry all...
