To Be Heard (a song)

  Look at me, can you see,
Will you hear, should you bear,
What I have to say?

Broken deep, deep inside,
A roller-coaster ride.

I can see me, going back now,
Will you pull me, up with strength now?
I am falling deep and deeper,
I need you here, with me now. #

Falling in faster, over my heels,
Nothing can stop me, nothing will yield.
Don’t know how, and I don’t know why,
Will you save me?
Will you save me… this time?

I am here, will you see,
Me here now? Invisible,
Dying here right now.

Shattered now, pieces far,
A porcelain heart tonight.

I can’t see me, anymore now,
Will you find me, in the dark now?
I have fallen, too far, too fast.
Will you stay here, here forever?

Falling in faster, over my heels,
Nothing can stop me, nothing will yield.
Don’t know how, and I don’t know why,
Will you save me?
Will you save me… this time?

I want to be seen…
I want to be found…
I want to be heard!

[Chorus 2x, second time with the bridge overlapping, and end with ‘I want to be heard’ whispered quietly.]

    Very nice, Julia, it's a really good song. Do you have a tune to it or just lyrics? I like the lines:

    I want to be seen
    I want to be found
    I want to be heard!

    Everyone has said this at one point or another, but you say it very well in this song. Your song flows.

    Nothing can stop me, nothing will yield
    Don't know how, and I don't know why
