What do I do when I don't feel
Safe in my own home?

What do I tell people when they ask
Why can't I be content?

Why do I always feel
Like I'm in this fight alone?

Why should I have to feel
Like for happiness I'm paying rent?

Each night, I sleep alone and close my eyes
Each day, I fake a smile for every day of my life

Each hour, I need to know someone is there
I need to know there's always someone who cares

Just close your eyes, girl
Keep hope in mind

Think about your life, girl
You're not left behind

Think back in time, girl
Someone's always by your side

Try to walk the line, girl
Try to ride the tide

Why should I try to keep hopeful
When someone's shoving my chin down?

Why do I feel like I'm
A slave in my own home?

Why should I keep being resourceful?
I shouldn't have to live through this round

Why should I keep my goals in mind
When I know they won't last though?

Each night, I sleep alone and close my eyes
Each day, I fake a smile for every day of my life

Each hour, I need to know someone is there
I need to know there's always someone who cares

I'm not the only one who needs a hand to hold
I'm not the only one who's heart ever felt cold

I'm got a battle to fight and new wars to win
I'm not the only one who finds it hard to grin

I'm ready to start anew
I'm ready to stop feeling blue

Time to find out what I can be
Time to start thinking 'bout me
