Growing up i got lost
Did nobody care
I felt small and lonely
There was nobody there
To say that they loved me
To just make me smile
Not to hurt me and use me
While i lost it inside
Why didn't they love me
What did i do wrong
Why was i forgotten
And left hurting so long
My twin sister was loved
And in that i am glad
But what I learnt from this lesson
That it was me that was bad
I'm trying to find me
And I'm hoping to find
Some friends who will show me
How it feels when they're kind
I can't take being touched
Hugged or kissed when i meet
My friends think I'm different
I don't feel I'm complete
If my life was a picture
I'm missing the glue
That holds a real family
Where friends join in too
But I'm taking a risk
I need this to be right
I need to let go
Needing to learn not to fight
If i take baby steps
And I hold out a hand
Will you take me in learning
Helping me understand
How it feels to be loved
How it feels to be touched
How it feels when it's safe
Helping me learn how to trust
I'm lost and i'm lonely
But I'm trying to find
A friendship so honest
And leave my past life behind
