Nobody there

Do you ever have that feeling,
You can't live another day,
Everything you're living for,
Has turned the other way?

Have you ever felt that aching,
That comes from deep inside,
Is never going to leave you,
No matter where you hide?

Have you ever gone a day,
Where you live on hope alone,
Where you are constantly waiting
For the right path to be shown?

Have you ever wanted to reach out,
In desperation and despair,
Feeling alone, so alone,
And find there's no-one there?

Is faith in the future your driving force,
When you pull yourself apart,
Do you need that extra pain in life,
To forget a broken heart?

Sometimes I can't hold on to my life,
I can't keep my grip any longer,
But I have to find that energy within,
To make myself much stronger.

I can't continue battling through,
I don't need to cry on somebody's shoulder
There's a child, alone, lurking below,
And she needs you to hold her.
