To become jaded
To no longer be lost and afraid
To be sedated
To become numb to the world that has betrayed
I sit haunted
Tormented by the life I threw away
It seems so daunting
Waking up to face another day
Tell me the reason
The reason so many lives are filled with pain
Tell me the reason
The reason children wind up lost lonely and afraid
Tell me the reason
The reason we all just walk away
I feel so empty
Looking back at all the things I've done
Broken and lonely
I no longer feel love for anyone
Tell me the reason
The reason so many lives are filled with pain
Tell me the reason
The reason children wind up lost lonely and afraid
Tell me
