losing strength

how long will it take until I can't bear it anymore
this feeling of weakness, knowing I'm losing strength

and how long till I break down and leave the world behind
'cause I've no more faith and hope

what about all those I hold dear
why can't they be by my side and spend a little time with me
why don't they help me to get back to the place I long for
giving me strength and hope
that I can go anywhere with them believing in me

and still I'm waiting
waiting for the last second to come
I'm fainting and keep going
as no-one seems to care

but for how long
