lyrics

Oh is this just me? Cause I’ve been thinking
About the world and how it works
Cause you see we hurt so easily, it’s going too far this time
Cause we’ve been so caught up in, filling these voids inside of us
But the truth is some can’t hold in, this pain any longer

This cannot go on any longer
We've been asking why is this just me?
We're crying out please save me now
Save me from this broken world

And oh can you now see?
What you're doing does more than what you think?
It's gone too far, to the point where we run in fear from where you are
Cause you aren't fully seeing
What this does effects our lives and how we live!

This cannot go on any longer
We've been asking why is this just me?
We're crying out please save me now
Save me from this broken world

Think about every action that you make
It could cause someone to want to leave this life
We've been captives to what they've said and done to us
It's not worth it to prison ourselves inside our minds
We're breaking out, We won't be slaves anymore
We broke the mold, It's finally time to live our lives

This cannot go on any longer
We've been asking why is this just me?
We're crying out please save me now
Save me from this broken world
