I'm standing on the edge of losing hope, My hands are shaking, I can't even cope, Life keeps pulling on a tightening rope, And I'm too tired just to float. But I can't give up, I can't let go, 'Cause someone will cry if I don't say no, To the dark that calls me from below, I stay for them, I stay, I know. I hide my tears behind a quiet smile, I've walked this pain for more than a mile, I fake I'm fine, I fake it for a while, But my heart is breaking all the while. But I can't give up, I can't let go, 'Cause someone will cry if I don't say no, To the dark that calls me from below, I stay for them, I stay, I know. If I fall, who'll hold their hand? Who'll help them to understand? I am their home, their solid land, So I will rise, I'll make a stand. So when the night feels cold and long, And I feel weak, when I feel wrong, I hear their voice, it keeps me strong, I stay alive, I carry on.
