I see all my friends as I sit by the window
As mean as a devil and as lonely as a widow
I want to get up and say help
But whenever I try all I feel is a yelp
Of pain from the demon that's inside of me
If you look at me there's nothing to see
But my eyes are readable, help me

If I had wings I would fly
But I don't so I cry
If I could say just one word
But whenever I try I feel absurd
My dear friend, you see me suffering
I cry, I scream, I'm sure that's bothering
You, so please, help me!

I no longer feel strong
I wish I could hear the happy song
I've been depressed ever since
And there is nobody to convince
I wish you would talk to me, but
If you look at me there's nothing to see
But my eyes are readable, help me

If I had wings I would fly
But I don't so I cry
If I could say just one word
But whenever I try, I feel absurd
My dear friend, you see me suffering
I cry, I scream, I'm sure that's bothering
You, so please, help me!

If I could just get up and ask it
My life would be worth it
But I don't do that anymore
Because now my soul is sore
I can't think clear, I'm going down
I don't see you anymore around
But if you do don't be afraid, please help me!
