i open my eyes to a barren world
i am numb to the steel and brick
and plastic that surrounds me
living feels all too surreal
people laugh and cry and fight
and scream over trivial things
no one is real
nothing is real
but then i look into your eyes
and i see you
not you the mask
or you the game
not you who you think you are
but you the child
who grew up all to quickly
who tried to be strong
and in the midst of all your pain
you told yourself that's what it meant
to grow up
you told yorself to be an adult
and a piece of your imagination died
and your heart grew colder for it
why is winter so cold
it isn't the snow, but our hearts
which ice the streets on which we walk
i can see your hidden thoughts
like a mind reader
and i weep
i weep because i want you to know
that growing up dosen't mean losing yourself
it only means refinding yourself
and if the road ever seems too long
or the path too unsure
remember that i am singing your song
the song of you
the song where you win
when you conquer all fear
and nothing else matters
because i love you
