A broken spirit

They broke the walls that you built
To protect your dreams and hopes
And now they’re gone you’re feeling empty and worthless
And you feel like you can’t cope

You’re feeling down on yourself for no reason
You feel isolated and you’re freezing

You’re standing there and you watch
The world go past you and you think
Will anyone even notice
If you die or if you live

No matter how hard life is don’t give up hope
Because if you do you wont be able to cope
