Another lost one from 2008.
The World Turns its back
THE WORLD TURNS IT BACK ON YOU
WHAT DO YOU DO EVERY ONE LEAVES YOU ALONE
WHOS STAYS BY YOUR SIDE
WHO WANTS TO LEND A HELPING HAND
WHO SAYS ITS OKAY
WHEN THE WORLD JUST TURNA AND WALKS AWAY
WHO SAYS EVERYTHINGS GONNA BE OKAY
WHOS THE ONE WHO STANDS BY YOU FOREVER
WHO CAOULD YOU NOT BEAR TO SEE LEAVE
WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF THEY DID
WOULD YOU CRY
WOULD YOUR WORLD END
WOULD YOU TELL THEM HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO YOU
WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF THEY TOLD YOU
THAT THEY JUST DON’T KNOW YOU
ANYMORE
WOULD COULD YOU BE STRONG
IF THEY LEFT YOU LYING IN THE DIRT
WHEN THEY LEFT WHAT WOULD BE LEFT
WOULD YOU BE AN EMPTY SHELL
OR WOULD YOU BECOME SOMEONE NEW
SOMEONE BETTER
SOMEONE STRONGER
SOMEONE DARKER
SOMEONE BRIGHTER
SOMEONE WEAKER
OR SOMETHING ALTOGETHER DIFFERENT
DO YOU EVEN KNOW
COULD YOU EVEN GUESS UNTIL IT HAPPENS
WOULD YOU BECOME NOTHING MORE
THAN A SHADOW OF A PERSON
A SHADOW OF WHAT ONCE WAS WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN
A MOCKERY OF LIFE
A MOCKERY OF A PERSON
WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF EVERYONE LEFT
WOULD YOU CRY WOULD YOU SREAM GOODBYE
WOULD EVERYTHING BE ALL RIGHT
WOULD YOU COULD YOU PRETEND EVRYTHING WAS ALRIGHT
OR WOULD YOU TEL PEOPLE THAT YOU WERE DEAD INSIDE
AND THE ONLY THING THAT COULD BRING YOU BACK TO LIFE AGAIN WOULD BE THE ONE PERSON WHO YOU NEVER HOPE TO SEE AGAIN
WHAT WOULD THEY DO WOULD THEY SAVE YOU OR DENY YOU
MAYBE WELL SEE WHO THIS ONE PERSON IS
MEYBE THEY’LL SAVE YOU
OR MAYBE THEY’LL DENY YOU EVEN THIS
ONE SIMPLE REQUEST THIS ONE PLEA FOR LIFE
