Losing myself

Losing myself

Losing myself
I just don't know why
running on empty
the well has gone dry
grinning and laughing
it feels like a lie
losing myself
as memories die

Lying awake
no tears left to cry
the pain a dull ache
that flows with the tide
fearful and empty
hiding inside
lying awake
but not knowing why

Looking for something
I know I can't find
feeling so helpless
and wandering blind
forging ahead
yet still left behind
looking for something
that just won't be mine
