Justin Furstenfeld has said that this is the song that really started the band. He played this song with his high school band, The Last Wish, but the parents of the band disagreed with the message. He went to form Blue October and would not let anyone tell him what he can and cannot say in a song.
Have you ever been so lonely
There's no one there to hold?
Just pull me in or disown me
And then climb inside
My arms are open wide
Have a look inside
It is not that I am scared to learn
Just why I'm empty inside
Just hold my hand or show some concern
If I live or die
My eyes are open wide
Help me look inside
I hear the water drip from the faucet
It's sweetly falling in tune, oh no
I'm gently closing the closet
And I fall to the floor
And crawl to my room
The thought of ending it soon
Just let me sleep in my room
Hear me cry, cry, cry
Oh, I hear a knock at the front door
Don't come in
I try to look at you
But I can't stop shaking
Leave me alone, just go away
Mother, I'm so scared
I'm so scared
Empty bed but all of my sheets are gone
They're wrapped around me and you
All is quiet but the drop of my gun
'Cause I, I want to belong to someone
But maybe life's not for everyone
