Playground

I'm alone and I'm lost in this playground
The lights are down on me
All alone and afraid in this playground
The city never sleeps
If you listen you won't understand
So confused I don't know where I am
I can't hold on - I can't hold onto love
I've tried time and time again
Every street is a dream in this darkness
The lights stay down on me
It's so hot I can't breathe in this darkness
Inside I'm never free
Just need someone to take me away
Take me with you is all I can say
I can't hol on - I can't hold onto love
I've tried time and time again
If you listen you won't understand
So confused I don't know where I am
I can't hold on - I can't hold onto love
I've tried time and time again
I can't hold on - I can't hold onto love
I've tried time and time again
I've tried time and time again
Oh I've tried time and time again
And I've tried time and time again
