They take and take with no thought of giving
Leave you in the shadows, barely living

Drain your soul; leave you with scars
Then wonder why you don't reach for the stars

They continue to judge without any care
Then label you broken beyond repair

They ignore your struggles and trivialize your pain
Then wonder why you can't break the chains

Don't let their darkness consume your light
Don't let their words dim your inner sight

You are strong, you are resilient
Your spirit is unbreakable and brilliant

So let them talk, let them judge
They cannot fathom the strength you've trudged

And when they ask why you are so dark
Show them your light and leave your mark

Life can be too much to bear
The weight of the world starts to wear

I am floating away
Drifting for another day

My mind - a distant land
A place I can't comprehend

It's as if I am watching from afar
A stranger to my own memoir

The world around me has lost its shape
Reality continues to escape

Wandering around; lost in a dream
Things are never quite as they seem

Open or closed
My eyes only see you
I am convinced
It is the best **** view

You promised me you'd never lie
I believed you
You treated me as if you didn't care
I believed you
You said you didn't want me
I believed you
Now you want me back
Begging on bended knee
Just how naive
Do you think I must be?

I’ve been beaten down
Left to bleed out
Lick my wounds and retreat

Despite the pain

I still believe in love
Though it seems
Love no longer believes in me

If she chose to believe
In her own dream
Just this once
Perhaps it could come true

There are thousands of ways
I said I love you
And you never heard me say
A single one

There are thousands of ways
I could say I miss you
And you'll never hear me say
A single one
