MY LIFE IS LIKE A BOARD GAME
YOU KNOW LIKE THE ONE YOU USED TO HAVE AS A KID
AND THE PIECES WERE MISSING
SO YOU WOULD MANIPULATE THE GAME
JUST SO YOU COULD WIN!

BUT YOU BROTHER WOULD ALWAYS QUIT
BECAUSE HE SAID THE GAME WAS NO LONGER FUN
BUT YOUR SISTER WAS JUST HAPPY TO PLAY THE GAME AT ALL
YA MY LIFE IS KIND OF LIKE THAT
EXCEPT!

LIFE KEEPS MANIPULATING THE GAME AGAINST ME
AND IT WONT LET ME WIN
AND IT WONT LET ME PASS GO
AND IT WONT EVEN GIVE ME ONE GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARD
AND THAT JUST NOT FAIR!

SO I HAVE TO REMEMBER WHAT MY MOM TOLD ME
SHE SAYS LIFE ISN’T FAIR
BUT SHE ALSO SAID CHEATERS NEVER WIN
BUT LIFE SEEMS LIFE KEEPS CHEATING ME OUT OF ALL MY WINS
SO I WANT TO QUIT LIKE MY BROTHER!

BUT I CAN’T
BECAUSE THAT WOULD MEAN MY GAME IS OVER
AND THEIR AREN’T REDOS
OR I’LL PLAY AGAIN TOMORROW
OR EVEN A PAUSE BUTTON

SO WHAT SHOULD I DO?
WELL I HAVE TO REMEMBER MY SISTER
I SHOULD BE HAPPY TO GET TO PLAY THIS GAME OF LIFE
WAIT NOT JUST HAPPY
I SHOULD THANK GOD I GET TO PLAY THIS GAME CALLED LIFE





CAUSE THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE
THAT HAD THERE PIECE ON THE BOARD
AND CAN NO LONGER PROCEED FORWARD
CAUSE LIFE DECIDED THAT THIS IS AS FAR AS THEY CAN GO
BUT YET LIFE STILL LETS ME PUSH FORWARD

THEIR ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE
THAT HAD THEIR PIECE ON THE BOARD
AND THEN GOT KNOCKED OFF
BECAUSE LIFE DECIDED THEY PLAYED LONG ENOUGH
BUT YET LIFE DECIDED I STILL HAVE SOMETHING TO PLAY FOR

AND THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE
THAT NEVER GOT TO PLACE THEIR PIECE ON THE BOARD
BECAUSE LIFE DECIDED THEY DID NOT DESERVE TO PLAY
BECAUSE THEY WEREN’T WORTHY
BUT YET EVEN THOUGH I DON'T FEEL WORTHY LIFE THOUGHT I DID

SO I GUESS I’M GOING TO TAKE MY CHANCES
AND ROLL THE DICE TO KEEP PLAYING
BECAUSE I DON’T KNOW IF I CAN WIN
OR HOW LONG I’LL GET TO PLAY
BUT HOW WILL I UNLESS I TRY.

If I could dream catch her tonight
And Wake up with her eyes
Looking right at me
Then I’d be happy

So until then
I’ll keep my eyes close
Chasing a dream in the dark
Until something lights up my heart…

Just because your life is falling apart
It doesn’t mean it can't be put back together
See sometimes those pieces just fall into place
Landing in the most unexpected ways
And you end up right where you’re supposed to be
Sometimes the worst moments in life
Can be so unclear to see the reason why
So you just have to close your eyes and trust
That leap of faith in whatever you believe
In your gut that it gets better
See I fell a thousand times
And I’m still standing
I’ve been broken down to a hundred pieces
And put together stronger
I have wanted to give up at least ten times in my life
But then realized why
When I have so much time to make a comeback
And not once have I regretted where I landed
Because once my life was done falling apart
I landed on my feet every time

Love is just a circle
It goes around and around and around
With no end
It’s just there
And when it’s not
It eventually comes back
But never gone
It didn’t start anywhere
And shows no signs of ending

Love is just a circle
with infinite possibilities
It’s not hiding around any corners
And just when you think that circle
Is as big as it can be
It gets bigger
So you can be loved
And give more love then there was before

Love is just a circle
So I will just wait around
For you to come
So I can love you
And you can love Me
For wherever in this circle you may be

They say I have a problem
Yet it isn’t really there’s
So I really don’t understand
Why they really ******* care

They say I have a problem
One that I can only solve
So I hear the words they have to say
Then let it all dissolve

They say I have a problem
That I’m really really high
So it might be best for me
If I didn’t even drive

They say I have a problem
That I just hit another car
They look really injured
And I should probably drive a far

They say I have a problem
I just might go to jail
So I’ll take another sniff and sip
And say what the hell

I’m lost
No idea where i'm going
Or where I will end up
I don't know how I will get where I am going
Or even if I want to go there
Maybe I might want to go somewhere else after
Maybe I might want to stay
But I do know one thing for sure
I do not care where
Or how
Or when
Or why
As long as you are there by my side
Because you are my compass
And with you i'm never lost

I don’t know why I Write
I’ve never used to be good at it
It just came to me one night
As if there was something special
I had to bring to light
See it used to be
The only thing
I hated most of all
But now it seems like it’s the only thing
That picks me up when I fall

I don’t know why I write
As if I have something meaningful
To me it just feels right
Like if I believe that I might change somebody else life
Or maybe just use this
To find my future wife
Maybe my words are like doves
Ready to lift the weight off you
Way up high above

I don’t know why write
Except for this one and only reason
It’s the only way I fight
These bad words within my head
That keep screaming and shouting late at night
Wishing that I was dead
Because every word that I write
Is better written in black ink than in red
See I write for tomorrow
Instead of drowning in today sorrows
I write to survive
Because I like being
Alive
