Are You Like Me?

 

Have you ever had the feeling
You were going to die alone
Laying there on your deathbed
Wth nobody to call your own
There's a pain in my stomach
It comes when I leave home
The same feeling returns
Whenever I am alone
There is no hope and happiness
To me, it just isn't right
That some people are so happy
While I sleep alone at night
I've stared at the blade
And down the barrel of a gun
It was then that I asked myself,
"Am I the only one?"
There is others like me
Who don't know what to do
And to all of these people
My deepest hopes go out to you
