I am so exhausted i can not sleep
too many heartaches I've had to keep
In my restless dreams i am alone
my past has made my heart of stone
my cries are silent but my own
turned into screams as they have grown
i am a firefly with no light
staggering and fighting the dark night
Surrounded by strangers, i thought were friends
my independence seems to vanish in the end
This sadness just won't leave me alone
I wish i could go back home
But things just can not remain the same
I have not played life, its game
The world outside is enormously tall
I hide behind a rainbow's wall
I will bear the unsparing pain
As i run against the cold, hard rain
I am so weary i can not sleep
But I promised myself i would not weep!
