Eternal - Brighter Day lyrics

Was there ever a time you were there for me? Was it too much to know that you cared You were lost inside I know that now But sometimes I still feel like that child Lost in life, alone inside my head Through the screams that splinter me inside I've lost count of all the dreams that died But I'm stronger now or so I say And although I love you its hard not to blame For the boy that's lost inside the man Is it hard to know my pain mirror's your own? How was I supposed to know life was never grey With the weight of this sadness on me everyday Never felt your embrace, soothe me through my tears Not a rea**uring word, to guide me through my fears And it breaks my heart to see you cry But I disconnected long ago when I died inside Was I ever that child in those fragile arms? I know you feel the loss Through the screams that tore through me inside I have no recollection of a time you smiled I've seen the scares in us so deep And although I love you now, I have nothing left to say Won't you lead me to a brighter day Were the sun peels away all this hardened skin... Lead me to a brighter day Lead me to a brighter day Through the screams that splinter me inside I've lost count of all the dreams that died But I'm stronger now or so I say And although I love you its hard not to blame For the boy that's lost inside the man Is it hard to know my pain mirror's your own? Lead me to a brighter day Lead me to a brighter day
