Sorrow found me

Bought a ticket for a train
swam the deepest underwater caves
booked a flight on a plane
but I found nothing had changed
Sorrow still found me

But still I ran away
booked a mysterious holiday
Drove through the United States
I even changed my name
Yet Sorrow still found me

I wish he didn't know me
Wish he'd never told me
He'd come back looking for me
No one here to console me
Sorrow is so persistant

Now I know there's no hiding from the pain
I've got to stand up and face the rain

They seem to mean no harm
but their frivolity harms me

Beware of the butterfly
because beauty can be misleading
it can ensnare the senses
till all my senses vanish completely

Lend me your strength

Please lend me your strength
until I find my own
Without you the pain is amplified
not sure if I can do it on my own

But you tell me I'm strong
and I really do want to believe you
But I need to see it in myself
and that's the hardest thing to do

Lately I've been feeling like a pebble
stagnant and forgotten on the ground
But you could always pick me up
bring me back to the here and now

So please lend me your strength
at least until I find some of my own
without you the pain has multiplied
not sure if I'll survive on my own
