To Truly Live

I'm waiting patiently for my dreams to come true
people said that I would never succeed
they told me to run away but I won't do that
I traveled endlessly on a barren ground
searching for where all the green went to
things keep happening, each one strikes a hole in the wall
I can't turn around because if I don't face it
then I will never find my way
you left me alone a long time ago to fend for myself
your heart got torn and you came back for me to put back the pieces
I try to live on for the future but you are frozen in the past
it is all like dominos...
I walk among a herd of strangers
each one faceless, none of them can see past my facade
they never think that looks can be deceiving
with each step I take in the endless way
I then fall to the ground with no one even noticing
since I get back up and pretend nothing is wrong
'cause there is more to live for
why think about every fall? I got my dreams to live for.
No one understands what it is like
to leave something you care about in order to protect it,
I can't bear to watch the collapse,
they called me weak, a fool but is that really the case?
