If you know what it's like to be on the other end of nothing
Then you know why I'm like the way I am
If you know what it's like to hold your hand, I'll hope for something
That I think that all of you could understand

I'm alone on a trail of my tears but I keep going
Hoping scales will one day tip and things will change, they keep going
Like a hamster on a wheel

I'm afraid to fail
I'm afraid to fail
I'm afraid to fail
I'm afraid to fail
I'm afraid to fail

Do you know how it feels to be drowning in tomorrow?
Paralyzed to face the day ahead
Do you know how it feels to be strangled by the fear of
Life, when you feel already dead

I'm alone on a trail of my tears but I keep going
Hoping scales will one day tip and things will change, they keep going
Like a hamster on a wheel

I'm afraid to fail
I'm afraid to fail
I'm afraid to fail
I'm afraid to fail
I'm afraid to fail
