Tell me where's the nearest piece of mind?
I'm going crazy
Knight in shining armor in the distance
He sees the angel threatening my life
Why won't he save me?
All I want is somebody to give a damn
Notice that I'm struggling and lend a hand
They say
Everybody needs someone to understand
Well damnit that includes me too
And all I want is someone to be there for me
Someone that genuinely cares
But I'm just dreaming
It's like I'm silently screaming
Even though I'm totally surrounded
I feel like I'm in here by myself
How about you do it cuz you love me?
Not cuz you want something in return
Is that so crazy?
Crazy
In the middle of the sea of helpless
But see, I never learned how to swim
Somebody save me
Somebody save me
All I want is somebody to give a damn
Notice that I'm struggling and lend a hand
They say
Everybody needs someone to understand
Well damnit that includes me too
And all I want is someone to be there for me
Someone that genuinely cares
But I'm just dreaming
It's like I'm silently screaming
Somebody to catch me when I fall
Somebody to help me through it all
Someone I can trust
Tell me if I'm asking too much
All I want is somebody to give a damn
Notice that I'm struggling and lend a hand
They say
Everybody needs someone to understand
Well damnit that includes me too
All I want is someone to be there for me
Someone that I can genuinely trust
But I'm just dreaming
It's like I'm silently screaming
Even though I'm totally surrounded
Silently screaming
I feel like I'm in here by myself
Silently screaming
