What Is To Be?

I want to do something ---

But how do I start?

I want to find love ---

But where is my heart?

I want to make music ---

But where is the song?

I want to be happy ----

But what has gone wrong?

I try not to miss you ---

But where are you now?

I try not to love you ---

But I don't know how.

I want to keep smiling ---

But why do I cry?

I want to keep living ---

But why should I try?

I want all these things ---

But will they come true?

I'm counting on time ---

But I can't count on you.
