People who fall apart often need that place to start
They need the comfort of another's eyes 
To counteract their self demise
So is it weakness that when I walk 
I scan the people waiting for our eyes to lock
To feel connected, to feel complete 
till away they take me, my own two feet 
And for that time i feel like one
And then it begins again when I walk along 
The loneliness and all I'll ever be is me
So I really wonder ... am I weak?
