birds are singing

the sun is shining

like it's laughing in my face

the darkness of the night

gone without a trace

the birds are singing

a sweet melody

but i never knew a crowded room

could be so lonely

i thought i could take comfort

in an innocent smile

i hoped i could pretend

and be happy for a while

i prayed no one would notice

as sadness in my eyes

and a darkness as black

as midnight skies

i never imagined

i could feel so alone

never did i think

i'd end up on my own

i thought promises

were meant to last

and i thought i was strong enough

to overcome the past
