If you'll listen, I'll tell you a story
Of a life of pain and trouble

I had to learn things the hard way
sometimes, some things over and over

It was the worst feeling I ever had
couldn’t say what I was feeling

Couldn't conceive it, couldn't believe it
No understanding could I find

It was all mental fornication
They were destroying their creation

Why couldn't they stop to see
What they were doing to me

Now I do the best I can
Taught myself to be a man

Loneliness comes and goes
My scars will never heal

Never reached my full potential
I'll never know what could have been

All I feel is defeated
I feel like I was cheated

It's Gods plan now I see
This is how it has to be

I'm the one who suffers without you
I'll be fine someday

But now my heart is void and black
I lost a piece I can't get back

And now it feels like it's just over
Yes it's over for me

My thoughts are cluttered
With all these memories

Like pieces of fire
They burn me inside

I'm swallowed up by all my failures
There's no time left to do it all again

All my reasons have become excuses
Don’t have any left because I used them all

No point in dreaming I'm just to tired
It's time to put away such silly things

Nothing's changed that much for me
Why can't they just let me be

I no longer care about it
Or do I?
