I Look
V1
It's cold inside
I guess I'm all alone
Chilled to the bone
Lost again
Oh, oh, oh,
I'm lost for words again
I don't need your apathy around me
Draining me of who I'm supposed to be
Chorus
I look to my left side
I look to my right side
But it's only me that's here
I look way above me
All around below me
Cos I don't feel your presence near
V2
I've tried my best
To save you from yourself
But you won't correct
What you can't confront
You dismiss my help
I see your growth erode like a rock by the ocean
But your demise is by artificial means
Chorus
I look to my left side
I look to my right side
But it's only me that's here
I look way above me
All around below me
Cos I don't feel your presence near
Middle 8
You had plans for your life
You knew where you were going
Planned how you'd get there
But got caught up going nowhere
In a life without dreams
A life without true meaning
Intervention is what you need
To help you with addiction
Chorus
