Crawl into bed

Its 3 am

Wide awake

Frustrated and crying

The storm outside continues on

I can’t stop thinking about you

Waiting for a phone call

That never comes

Scared and losing

All sense of reality


She takes a step back into herself

She can finally breathe

Once inside this wonderland

Even when she’s drowning

In tears

She looks in the mirror

Once more

To see her hollow inside


Again she steps down

On the scale

To determine her day

She’s disappointed

But hides any trace

Even though she feels

Like calling quits

She soldiers on


She can finally breathe

Once inside this wonderland

Even when she’s drowning

In tears

She looks in the mirror

Once more

To see her hollow inside


Desperately she falls

Hoping someone will catch her

For once

She wants destiny to comfort her

She doesn’t want to be a victim

Of heartache

She’s had her share

And all she wants is to be held


She can finally breathe

Once inside this wonderland

Even when she’s drowning

In tears

She looks in the mirror

Once more

To see her hollow inside
