And in my 10-year-old heart, I truly felt these lyrics.

Andy in the rain in The Shawshank Redemption

"Why should I care? Because you weren't there when I was scared, I was so alone!"

"Life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button girl, So cradle your head in you hands"

"All I need is you, come please, I'm callin'
And, oh, I scream for you
Hurry, I'm fallin', I'm fallin'"

"Tell my mother, tell my father, I've done the best I can to make them realize this is my life, I hope they understand"

"Hold on, baby; you're losing it
The water's high, you're jumping into it
And letting go, and no one knows
That you cry; but you don't tell anyone"

"I'll never be good enough, you make me wanna die"

"Here comes the rain again falling from the stars. Drenched in my pain again, becoming who we are"

"And they say she's so lucky, she's a star, But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking, if there's nothing missing in my life then why do these tears come at night?"

"I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here"

"I walk a lonely road, the only one that I have ever known. Don't know where it goes, but it's home to me and I walk alone"

"I tried so hard and god so far, and in the end it doesn't even matter"

"Here we are and I can't think from all the pills, hey
Start the car and take me home"

"If you loved me, you would be here with me"

"I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems! Got to open my eyes to everything! Don't let me die here!"

"Isn't anyone trying to find me? Won't somebody come take me home?"

"He's on the table and he's gone to code and I do not think anyone knows what they're doing here"

"Nobody ever said it was easy; no one ever said it would be this hard. Oh, take me back to the start"

"Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend"

"Ouch I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found
Yeah I think that I might break"

"Have you ever been alone in a crowded room?"

"I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor"

"Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you"

"Because one day, I'll leave you
A phantom to lead you in the summer
To join the black parade""

"You all have guns, and you never put the safety on. And you all have plans to take it, don't take it"

"Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories, even if they weren't so great"

"And now I'm guilt-stricken, sobbing' with my head on the floor"

That's me in the corner, that's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you and I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much, I haven't said enough

"The walls start breathing, my mind's unweaving. Maybe it's best you leave me alone"

"I'm just a kid, and life is a nightmare. I'm just a kid, I know that it's not fair. Nobody cares 'cause I'm alone"
