Every morning I wake up a disappointment
Not only to my mom watching from the clouds, but to the person staring back at me through the mirror
I just feel as if the person I see is never good enough, and if I was any better maybe my life wouldn’t be so rough
Because instead of dealing with my problems
I drown my sorrows away
Every night I just lay awake, sleepless because of heartache
Then I'm up afraid of forcing another bottle of champagne
Yes I say forced because it’s the only way to get away from my pain

I tried everything but nothing seems to work
I tried making friends but that didn’t work
I tried being thankful but that didn’t work
I tried being happy but that didn’t work
I tried making love but that didn’t work


I tried

There’s only one thing I haven’t tried yet
It’s an idea I try to force myself to forget
But it’s hard when your life is full of nothing but regret

Maybe I should just do it
Just kick the chair over and be over with it
Or just take that final step and be over with it
Or just pull the ******* trigger and be done with it
Emotion got in my way, decided to post it anyway
