Cry For Help

(album: On The Other Side Of Here - 2021)

The day my mother died
My world turned upside down
For days and nights I cried
Until I was cried out
Fear of abandonment
Leaves me holding on too tight
I'm asking you to stay the night

I've been lonely for so long
Living life in solitude
Too proud for reaching out
That changed when I met you
When I look into your eyes
I see the possibility
Of starting over, you and me

I was always running
Running from myself
Kept the world at a distance
So no one could figure out
I was too proud to cry for help
Here's my cry for help

Have you ever felt as if
You never quite fit in
Drifted in and out of life
Trying to find yourself as if
You were an actor on the stage
Always playing someone else
I love you most when you're just yourself

I was always running
Running from myself
Kept the world at a distance
So no one could figure out
I was too proud to cry for help
Here's my cry for help

When I'm with you, it's all so clear
We are where we need to be right now
Right here

I was always running
Running from myself
Kept the world at a distance
So no one could figure out
I was too proud to cry for help
Here's my cry for help

The day my mother died
My world turned upside down
