So it's times like these I wonder how I take it
And if other families live the way we do
If they love each other or if they just fake it
And if other daughters feel like I feel too
'Cause some days I think I'm dying
But I'm really only trying to get through
The sensation that you're screaming, but you never make a sound
Or the feeling that you're falling, but you never hit the ground
It just keeps on rushing at you, day by day by day by day
You don't know, you don't know what it's like to live that way
Like a refugee, a fugitive, forever on the run
If it gets me, it will kill me
But I don't know what I've done
Maybe we can't be okay
But maybe we're tough and we'll try anyway.
We'll live with what's real,
Let go of what's past,
And maybe I'll see you at last.
Day after day
Wishing all our cares away
Trying to fight the things we feel
But some hurts never heal.
Some ghosts are never gone
But we go on
We still go on
And you find some way to survive
And you find out you don't have to be happy at all
To be happy you're alive.
