Gone in a World Nobody Sees
(Verse 1) White flag waving in the pouring rain Tired of the fighting, tired of the pain They say, "It's your negativity, that's the cost" But tell me, what is hope when every single hope is lost? I've traced the patterns, I have read the signs A future written in these lonely, broken lines Destined for the silence, a solitary name And I've made my peace, I'm learning not to blame. (Chorus) So I'll stay gone in a world nobody else can see A battlefield of one, where I'm supposed to be It's a world that hurts, but it's a hurt I understand Where the only rules I break are made by my own hand I'll keep my head down, wear this smile they need to see And just pretend that it's all okay with me. (Verse 2) There is one last light before I close the door A love I'd walk through hell for, but I can't fight for anymore And all I want, the only prayer I have to give Is that she finds a happiness as long as she shall live Even if that happy is a place I'll never be That's a sacrifice I'll make, and set her free. (Chorus) So I'll stay gone in a world nobody else can see A battlefield of one, where I'm supposed to be It's a world that hurts, but it's a hurt I understand Where the only rules I break are made by my own hand I'll keep my head down, wear this smile they need to see And just pretend that it's all okay with me. (Bridge) This isn't giving up, it's letting go of the fight It's trading their bright day for my familiar night No more missteps, no words I have to choose No more good news that I'm destined to lose. Just the quiet ache, the comfort of the dread Alone inside the universe inside my head. (Chorus) So I'll stay gone in a world nobody else can see A battlefield of one, where I'm supposed to be It's a world that hurts, but it's a hurt I understand Where the only rules I break are made by my own hand I'll keep my head down, wear this smile they need to see And just pretend that it's all okay with me. (Outro) Yeah, just pretend that it's all okay with me... In a world nobody else can see...
