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
