Lyrics

Day after day I must face a world of strangers

Where I don’t belong, I’m not that strongIt’s nice to know that there’s someone I can turn toWho will always care, you’re always there

When there’s no getting over that rainbowWhen my smallest of dreams won’t come trueI can take all the madness the world has to giveBut I won’t last a day without you
