Life’s a mystery to me

I don’t know how I get this way

I know what you want to hear

I know what you want me to say

How can I tell you that I love you?

I don’t even love myself

How can I give your life that sparkle?

There’s not even a glimmer in my eyes

How can I hold you in my arms so tightly?

I’m barely holding on

How can I tell you not to worry?

I’m struggling to carry on

 

Life’s a mystery to me

I don’t know how I get this way

I know what you want to hear

I know what you want me to say

How can I ease your daily frustration?

I’m puzzled and perplexed

How can I tell you everything’s okay?

I don’t know what happens next

How can I convince you life’s so brightly?

I’m constantly in the dark

How can I ask so many questions?

When the reply is desolate and black
