Circumstances so difficult. Hope is barely there. Fragile. A merciless monsoon A heavy weight that's come too soon Despair's come to crash over me A heavy wave. I don't want to drown The heaviest of sorrow it embodies I beg, I don't want to drown! Reality is painful Reality is brutal Reality is painful So painful An outcome I've been praying so much for It seems so far from coming true I'm trying, struggling to be mindful Will the future be less cruel? Despair's come to crash over me A heavy wave. I don't want to drown The heaviest of sorrow it embodies I plead, I don't want to drown! Reality is painful Reality is brutal Reality is painful So painful Reality is painful Reality is brutal Reality is painful So painful My wishes and hopes They are well meant They are realistic I question why I swear, I did nothing wrong I question why As I spill sadness in this song I question why Is my love not enough? I question why Why is this so tough? Despair trying to push me down I don't want to drown! Despair trying to crush me now I don't want to drown! ...is brutal Reality is painful So painful Reality is painful (Painful, painful) Reality is brutal (brutal) Reality is painful So painful
