It's Raining In My Heart

There's a sadness filling me from head to toe
Where it's coming from I just don't know
It's getting nearer and nearer towards the brim
It'll soon be a case of sink or swim

It feels like I'm drowning from the inside
And there's nowhere to run, no place to hide
No one to help me see this thing through
Or give me support and tell me what to do

It's a frightening experience being on your own
Having to face things like this all alone
So I lie back wearily thinking what must be, must be
Praying for the day someone will come and rescue me

It's like a whirlpool swirling round and round
Slowly driving me into the ground
And I can see no future, no instant cure
As my hopes disappear behind a closed door

This sadness is like water filling a great hole
Drowning my mind and my body and my soul
There is no end this is just the start
Because it's raining deep in my heart
