Sometimes I'm Just a Child

Travelling back in time
Meeting eye to eye,
This stupid kid inside

So vulnerable when you criticize
So hurt when all my efforts are not recognized
Replay, stare at the future
Nothing to see, all just empty and black
Then I get too scared
Sometimes I'm just a child
Running wild
Hollow and abandoned
Just wishing to be gone

When I finally realize again
How all my dreams and illusions of greatness
Of life and joy
Were all only dreams and illusions after all
That no matter if I did my best,
If I always tried to make it right,
I was born to lose, never gonna win this fight
No life, no prize

Sometimes I'm just a child
Just like anyone
Sometimes I'm just a child
And I'm not the only one

Nobody to save me
Then it all comes back to me
Then I finally see
Is it really all it's supposed to be?

Sometimes I'm just a child
Lost alone in the wild
Sometimes I'm so childish
Drowning in loneliness, confusion and fear
Asking repeatedly in despair and tears
Why I am even still here?

Sometimes I'm just a child
Just like anyone
Sometimes I'm just a child
And I'm not the only one
Hollow and abandoned,
I run out of time
Just waiting for my demise
