about

After many years as a child being neglected and rejected and abused.. my adult years have been hard to live. I still feel like that rejected little boy… still unworthy of affection or love. Many have tried to love me, but I am incapable of receiving it because of my past. So my dreams are impossible to catch and it seems as if nothing is real…and the "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" phrase doesn't apply to people like me… "some people say, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but I don't know"

lyrics

Yes, I'm alive
but i don't know for how much longer
anymore
some people say
what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
but i don't know

cause my dreams; they won't come true
and it seems that now
neither will you
neither will you

I'm dying here
trying to pretend i'll be alright
but i don't know
my fear keeps growing stronger every night
in my soul

and my dreams; they won't come true
and it seems that now, neither will you
neither will you

well i know it's all my fault
that i'll never see your face
cause i can't seem to keep my feet
standing still in one place

and i have dreams that won't some true
and it seems that now neither will you
neither will you

some people say
what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
but i don't know
