Wide awake, you can't sleep as you look at the light from the shades
Close your eyes, but it doesn't help you forget the hurt that resides

Yeah my heart goes out to you, or anyone who's felt this way
I can't lie, I've been there too with sadness I can't place

'Cause I know how you feel right now
When it all looks surreal & the morning light feels close
But you're far away

You should see everything in color, no room for black & white
Start living, there's no time to get hung up on all that sucks in life

Yeah my heart goes out to you, or anyone who's felt this way
I can't lie, I've been there too with sadness & the growing pains

And you've reached for the stars, but never gotten that far
Where's the joy that lived inside your life
Has it died, or are you holding yourself down
