BACK HERE

WHY DO I ALWAYS CRY AT NIGHT?
AND WHY AM I ALWAYS SO SAD?
PRAYING TO GOD THATS IT GOING TO BE RIGHT;
INSTEAD OF GIVING ME SOMETHING TO ADD.

MY PAIN I WISHED I COULD ERASE;
AND GIVE MY HEART TIME TO HEAL--
SOMETIMES I WANT TO ESCAPE THIS PLACE;
WHERE NOTHING IN LIFE IS REAL-

MORE STRESSED THAN I REALLY NEED;
AND TOO MANY TEARS I'VE CRIED--
I WISHED I'D NEVER WORRIED;
AND FELT BETTER INSIDE--

I'M STILL TRYING TO BE STRONG;
BUT, THE MORE I TAKE--
THE MORE THINGS GO WRONG;
I CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE HEADACHES--

GOD TAKE AWAY ALL THESE TEARS;
AND BRING BACK THE CHEER--
NOTHINGS AS RIGHT AS IT APPEARS;
BRING THE LOVE BACK HERE--
