I walk in silence down these streets of hope
Treading shards of days that never change
I see the smiles in victories not mine
And wonder when it'll finally be my time

I'm tired of fighting and never winning
Of smiling when inside I'm breaking
Pretending nothing hurts, that all is fine
While the emptiness pulls me behind

I hide my pain with jokes that fall flat
While inside everything screams and shatters
They think I'm fine, that I'm okay
But they don't feel the weight I carry each day

I'm tired of fighting and never winning
Of smiling when inside I'm breaking
Pretending nothing hurts, that all is fine
While the emptiness pulls me behind

I barely remember when I last dreamed
Life's taken more than what I've redeemed
And yet I keep on moving along
But sometimes I just wish to stop

I'm tired of fighting and never winning
Of smiling when inside I'm breaking
Pretending nothing hurts, that all is fine
While the emptiness pulls me behind

Will this waiting ever come to an end?
Will my turn finally arrive then?
I'm scared to break and no one to see
Fade away slowly, lost in the breeze

I'm tired of fighting and never winning
Of smiling when inside I'm breaking
Pretending nothing hurts, that all is fine
While the emptiness pulls me behind
And others' victories pass me right by
While I wait
My own never arrives
