Shell Of A Person
A shell of a person, that's what he was
No deep ambition, no bigger cause
Light and the darkness, they're all the same
Absence of hope, a put out flame
For forever, he'll be there
For forever, he'll see you
He's not there for himself
Only everybody else
He could be there, he could try
But he's stuck inside
He needs you to see him, to want him so he
Deserves to eat, deserves to breathe, deserves to be
And when you use him, when you hurt him
When you make him think that the world is better without him
That he's worthless, that no one cares
He will cry through the night
He'll skip meals and he will lie
He'll look outside, planning how he'll go
Wondering how long it would take for you to know
And when he gets there, he will see that
You're not better than him
And when he gets there, he will know that
He is enough
A shell of a person, that's what he was
His view will change, he won't need the applause
He'll find the love, the one that truly counts
He'll be okay, he'll be okay
No deep ambition, no bigger cause
Light and the darkness, they're all the same
Absence of hope, a put out flame
For forever, he'll be there
For forever, he'll see you
He's not there for himself
Only everybody else
He could be there, he could try
But he's stuck inside
He needs you to see him, to want him so he
Deserves to eat, deserves to breathe, deserves to be
And when you use him, when you hurt him
When you make him think that the world is better without him
That he's worthless, that no one cares
He will cry through the night
He'll skip meals and he will lie
He'll look outside, planning how he'll go
Wondering how long it would take for you to know
And when he gets there, he will see that
You're not better than him
And when he gets there, he will know that
He is enough
A shell of a person, that's what he was
His view will change, he won't need the applause
He'll find the love, the one that truly counts
He'll be okay, he'll be okay
