I don't know what is happening to me

I think my mind's finally come undone

The city's quiet and the hour is late

And I'm afraid to face my life alone

And I don't know why it's so hard to consider this

I've reached up so many times to find my hands full of emptiness

There's been nothing to help me to sleep

I've got too much going on inside

I'd never thought someone could pull me in this deep

And now I find I've lost them this time

And I don't know why it's so hard to consider this

I've reached up so many times to find my hands full of emptiness

So many times I've been put aside

I was always second best

Nothing's sweeter than to be picked from the side

Like the treasure of a harvest

Well, I've never been seen

Except in glimpses of my dreams

But you're waiting here in the wings and I'm speechless

And I don't know why it's so hard to consider this

I've reached up so many times to find my hands full of emptiness

And I don't know why it's so hard to consider this

I've reached up so many times to find my hands full of emptiness
