And they thought they could help, but they were wrong
Are you here, with me?
Because my overwhelming pain is all I can seem to see
I feel like I'm swimming straight upstream
Against the current, drowning, and no one hears me scream
I'm not crazy, but I'm not exactly sane
I just need someone close to shield me from the rain
And I'm not mental, I'm just a bit impaired
I need someone to love me and truly care

I am not where I should be
They think this can help, but they just can't see
That keeping me away from you
Is the worse possible thing that they could do
I feel like I'm falling so fast
How long, in this place, will I last?

I am not who I am supposed to be
How can I do this; how do I find me?
It hurts to try so hard to heal
But I'll try to focus on how your arms feel.

I am not where I belong
And they thought they could help, but they were wrong
Are you here, with me?
Because my overwhelming pain is all I can seem to see
I feel like I'm swimming straight upstream
Against the current, drowning, and no one hears me scream
I'm not crazy, but I'm not exactly sane
I just need someone close to shield me from the rain
And I'm not mental, I'm just a bit impaired
I need someone to love me and truly care

I am not where I should be
They think this can help, but they just can't see
That keeping me away from you
Is the worse possible thing that they could do
I feel like I'm falling so fast
How long, in this place, will I last?

I am not who I am supposed to be
How can I do this; how do I find me?
It hurts to try so hard to heal
But I'll try to focus on how your arms feel.
