You  can say goodbye,
 To all  the things that you have ever known.
You  can say goodbye,
 And leave  behind the life that you have grown.
What's  the point,
 You try  to start from scratch,
 but get let down,
You  can say goodbye,
 Just to realise  there's no-one left around.
 So what  am I fighting for
 Tell me
 Is there anybody out there,
Am  I swimming through this empty sea alone,
Am  I looking for an answer
Or  am I trying to find a way to  get back home.
Is  there anybody out there,
Would  you hear me if I screamed or if I cried,
I'm  looking for an answer
And  just trying to find a way to  survive.
You  can live or die,
 Without  the chance to find out what your worth,
You  can live or die,
 And never  find the one that she'd deserve,
You  can walk alone,
 And live  behind the shadows in your heart,
You  can say goodbye
 Or live and find  out you've been alone right from the start
 So what  am I fighting for
 Tell me
 Is there anybody out there,
Am  I swimming through this empty sea alone,
Am  I looking for an answer
Or  am I trying to find a way to  get back home.
Is  there anybody out there,
Would  you hear me if I screamed or if I cried,
I'm  looking for an answer
And  just trying to find a way to  survive.
Never  thought I would end  up all alone,  (All alone, all alone..)
Every  day I am feeling further  away from home,
 I can't catch my breath,
 But I am holding  on
Is  there anybody out there,
is  this the last time I have to say goodbye,
Am  I staring at my future,
Is  it time to take  charge of my life,
Is  there anybody out there
Am  I swimming through this empty sea alone,
Am  I looking for an answer,
or  am I trying to find a way to get  back home,
Is  there anybody out there,
Would  you hear me if I screamed or if I cried,
I  am looking for an answer,
And  just trying to find a way to survive,
 A way to survive,
 And I am holding on
 End on
