I know what it's like

I know what it's like
I've been there before
Where it's so dark
And where it's so cold

When you feel alone
In this big world
With no one to love
And no one to hold

With tears at night
And red eyes by day
Not an hours sleep
For first light's break

I know what it's like
I've been there before
Where it's so dark
And where it's so cold

One final step
To leave this world
All the pain that is felt
Will be no more

The bullet is loaded
The metal is cold
One pull of the trigger
And one lost soul

I know what it's like
I've been there before
Where it's so dark
And where it's so cold

A hole in the wall
A beating heart
The slip of the fingers
The gun on the floor

A heaving chest
Tears like rivers
Gasping for air
At the realization

I know what it's like
I've been there before
Where it's so dark
And where it's so cold

A second chance
A new sun to see
Places to go
And new life to breath
