"How did I end up here?
Who thought it'd come to this?
How did I gain something new without even wanting?
How did I end up here?
How could you leave me stranded?
How do I learn from my mistakes when this time it's a child?

And the fire that keeps on raging.
I bet you never really loved me
And the path the never ends.
All those lies you must have told me
And the child I am no longer
And the fact that I'm alone.

You left me here,
Always here,
Just here,
Right here.

How did I end up here this time in my life?
How does one lose everything before it is given?
How did I end up here?
Did I take the wrong direction?
How was it given all to me and then set aflame?

And all the mountains I must climb
And all the oceans I must swim through
And all the walls that I must break
And the tears that must come out
And the sky that I must reach
And the strength I need to find
And the heart that I must stop from closing in on me.

Leaves me here,
Always here,
Just here,
Right here."
