It's dark.
It's quiet.
I've been here before.
Alone.
Don't turn any lights on.
I've been here before.
Weary on the bed,
fan cooling the room,
I've been here before.
Heavy-hearted,
does anybody care?
I've been here before.
Can I sit and talk to you?
Please hear my heart,
I've been here before.
Not afraid of truth,
immerse, thinking deeper,
I've been here before.
Please listen to me.
Love me,
if you think you know me.
I've been here before
