Lyrics
Inside these walls, alone in the darkness
Wishing that someone would walk through that door
Not really able to see past the teardrops
That well in my eyes and rain down to the floor
Tell me these aren?t the golden years
Tell me these won?t be my final memories
Decade after decade of labors
To end up afraid and alone
Save me, See Me, Love me
Let me know that each breath still matters
Hold me, hear me, fear me
There?s still someone alive inside these walls
Inside this shell, away from the darkness
Living the life that I lived long ago
Remembering all of the faces of loved ones
Who still walked away though I pleaded don?t go
Tell me these won?t be my final memories
Tell me these aren?t my golden years
Tucked away from all of the things that I lived for
Waiting for the last thing that I fear
Save me, See Me, Love me
Let me know that each breath still matters
Hold me, hear me, fear me
There?s still someone alive inside these walls
Break
Tell me these won?t be my final memories
Tell these aren?t my golden years
Tucked away from all of the things that I lived for
Waiting for that last thing that I fear
Save me, See Me, Love me
Let me know that each breath still matters
Hold me, hear me, fear me
There?s still someone alive inside these walls
