THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...)

somewhere along the way I stopped feeling
every feeling I could feel but sad
somewhere along the way I started dealing
old plastic playing cards just like my dad
I don't know just when it happened
I couldn't even give a year
I don't know if it was the agony
or misery or fear
I just know the bliss of feeling
began to disappear
and all I see is blurry images
through an old tear
somewhere along the way I started reeling
through broken promises that made me mad
somewhere along the way it got appealing
to dwell in old memories gone bad
and I don't know what else to tell you
that would mean anything
I don't even know the reason
for this song I sing
I just know that a pauper stands
where once stood a king
somewhere along the way
I lost everything
now I play a lonely solitaire
wondering why I should even care
looking around to find nobody here
nobody near
no one to share
somewhere along the way I started dying
as if living had somehow failed
somewhere along the way got stuck lying
upon betrayals that had me impaled
somewhere along the way I stopped crying
just became a pasty shade of numb
somewhere along the way I started dying
as if I was all I could become
I don't even hear the music
I'm not singing along
it's not as if I refuse it
I just don't feel the song
I just know the story's ending
I'm not sure what to do
I don't want to start pretending
I know what is true
and I wonder
has this ever happened to you?
