Doubts and Fears

I feel so lonely late at night
When everyone else is in bed
I wish that the feeling would go away
But it lingers there instead

I have so many doubts and fears
I want to run away from and ignore
But the feelings keep coming back
Stronger than they were before

I wonder if anyone really cares
What kind of life that I've had
Why I struggle with my emotions
One minute I'm happy and the next I'm sad

I need someone there beside me
To lend a shoulder and dry my tears
So I don't have to sit alone at night
With all my doubts and fears

So late at night when I can't sleep
I need you there to comfort me
And tell me things will get better
Have faith and you will see
