Use things not people
Hearts becoming brittle
Treating each other like nickels

Seeing all this, makes my heart ache
People judging each other's mistake
Ooh dear, please give it a break

Making all types of wrong role models
Stupid people becoming famous
Son, educate yourself read some novels
Celebrities posting things shameless

People dying to see a wedding photo
Want to do drugs and go disco
Farmers dying, how many knew? Zero
Guys, we have hit a new low

Earn money and drink wine
That's the goal for most
Sorry the last one didn't rhyme
I ain't always a great host

Looks over work
Beauty over brains
Lust over love
We are all under devil's reign

Using make up to look good and whole
What will you use to cover broken pieces of your soul?

You know we are racing towards the end
When Pointing out each other's defect has become a trend

On their opinion, people are so hell bent
Speaking logically to them Only makes me lament

Tell me how hard your life is because your lunch went bad
Ever blink an eye for whom, 2 grains of rice was all that they had?

Where is the empathy?
There is no sympathy
All I see is more and more apathy

Try to change the world and do something different
People laugh and act so indifferent

Hate is the language
Ignorance is the accent
Life is the mortgage
love is kept for rent

People loved people and used things
Now people love things and use people
To my pupil, tears it brings
I feeble

Where did we go wrong?
Why do hearts have no song?
This place, is not where I belong
I am going away, so long

Lying in the pool of sins
By Doing something wrong my day begins
Can't even look at my own reflection
How do I show myself any affection?

Is there someone who can save me?
I beg you please hear my plea
Worst part is I know it's wrong
Still I continue to do it all day long

Filled with shame and sorry
With acts of evil I have filled my quarry
Going deeper and deeper into the pit
Don't know when I'll stop and quit

At the end of the day I sit on my bed sad
Promise myself from tomorrow I'll be a good lad
I know I would still repeat all the same
I do it again tomorrow without any shame

Am I so bad? To myself I ask
You would hate me if my good face I unmask

I am becoming an old man filled with sorrow
Some of your good deeds can I borrow?
Please save me I hate dancing with him
Vessel of my bad deeds filled up till brim

I have no power, I have no will
For everyday I dance with the devil

Ever since I met you
I wanted to forget you
Even though I knew it was never going to work
I still tried because I had my quirk

I made you my night and day
I had so many words, but they were all the ones that are hard to say

I saw you being so nice to me
I fell for you right away
You did things for me even without a plea
It's a shame that I didn't even give you a 'hey'
Because I was shy and I had so many words, but they were all the ones that are hard to say

Years went by and I couldn't speak a word
Because whenever I saw you my thoughts would just get blurred
Ooh you used to sit just within my eye sight
I would gaze at you and your one look would make my day bright

I wanted to have you without a delay
I had so many words, but they were all the ones that are hard to say

One day you came towards me walking so slow
Every single cell inside me started to glow
Each step of yours took my life away and my heart throbbed
I felt my dreams came true, peaceful nights which were robbed  
You gave me a smile
And my heart raced a mile
you don't know I had been waiting for this for ages
For my heart finally came out of its cages

Your words made me your prey
But I couldn't speak because I had so many words but all the ones that are hard to say

I wanted to shower you with so much love
My little dove
For you my heart ached
My own shyness made my heart break
I wanted to tell you how beautiful you are
I wanted to show you my scars
For in your presence I could be vulnerable
Oh your smile made my mind disable

I remembered you whenever I did pray
I had so many words but all the ones that are hard to say

So I gathered all the courage I had
Because my heart wanted you so bad
I uttered all the words I had kept
Tears from my eyes that I had swept

I showed you I loved you everyday
And you took it all anyway
For my love was deeper than the ocean and lake
For you deserved so much so I'll give more than you can take

But I never got the same love back
Because our religions were a major drawback
But still, I kept my hopes high
Because it was you, and I couldn't just give up without a try
Oh my darling I loved you so much you made me cry
Because it was you, my heart adored
I didn't mind crying sleepless on the floor

Believe me my angel I gave my everything and maybe you did too
But it just wasn't possible for us two

Thoughts of taking my last breath with you made my mind enchanted
Ooh my darling why did you take my love For granted?

You treated me so bad
Left me crying always
oh, so sad
I still loved you with all my heart all days


Finally one day you left
You stole every little drop of my love, what a theft
I treated you so well
What did I do wrong? Now I'd always dwell

Maybe I should have kept it to me
I had an ocean deeper than Pacific filled with my love for you
But you bled it dry
And now that ocean is filled with my tears because every night thinking of you I cry

Maybe I shouldn't have said anything
Maybe this wouldn't have happened
If I had just left the words in my mind's maze filled with hay
For I had so many words, all the ones that were hard to say
