Passing Through (Why)

I wrote this when I had a lot of people leave me at once.

Passing Through (Why)

Verse:
You look right through my eyes
And see what's on the other side
Can't see my burning desire
To have faith in life

Wishing on every shooting star
That someone will open your heart
You're leaving me alone in the dark
It's tearing me apart

Pre-Chorus:
The shadows are weighing me down
I thought you were gonna lift me up
Guess you turned your heart around
Do you even know I'm coming undone?

Chorus:
Where do I belong?
I'm just floating along
Nobody sees the wounds
Thought you would carry me through
Feeling faint, time just passes by
As I sit and stare, wondering why
You can't hear my hopes
For someone who can heal my soul
I thought it would be you
Guess you were just passing through

Verse:
Don't you know I'm a house of cards?
Can tumble at the slightest rude remark
Seems like now I'm invisible to you
I wasn't good enough, so you moved on

Pre-Chorus:
Can't find air to breathe
But your touch could repair it all
I'm the one thing you can't see
Just pick up the phone and make a call

Chorus:
Where do I belong?
I'm just floating along
Nobody sees the wounds
Thought you would carry me through
Feeling faint, time just passes by
As I sit and stare, wondering why
You can't hear my hopes
For someone who can heal my soul
I thought it would be you
Guess you were just passing through

Bridge:
Thin as the sky
The one word in existence is why
Why can't you see me in front of you?
Why are you being such a fool?
Why, why why
Why, why why

Chorus:
Where do I belong?
I'm just floating along
Nobody sees the wounds
Thought you would carry me through
Feeling faint, time just passes by
As I sit and stare, wondering why
You can't hear my hopes
For someone who can heal my soul
I thought it would be you
Guess you were just passing through

Outro:
You only wanted to see
The calm before the storm
I no longer believe
That the cold will ever turn warm

I'm sorry that had happened to you, but a great and beautiful song came out of it. This was very eccentric and I loved every but of it. :)

[Sarahthirk]

thank you!

[David Scott]

This could work well as a song.
I'm sorry it is based on reality for you. What a jar of lemonade you made from these lemons...

[Sarahthirk]

Thank you. And yeah... Haha. Oh well. :)

[Anita Harris]

These are great lyrics. They're really sad, but tell an interesting story of (in my opinion) lost hope. Basically empty words and broken promises. I really like your outro as well. Great job :)

Thank you, I appreciate it!
