It's hard to be this way
To give your all
While others wont care or say
Leaves you raw

To love unbound
Lift others off the ground
Just to be weighed down
See them fly to close to the sun

See them pick the bad
No matter what yall had
Dry their tears quell their fears
Just to end up alone

The nice guy never wins
Just pays for everyone's sins
The bad one gets a pass
Good things seldom last

But I refuse to retreat
Let my heart lay at my feet
I'll keep trying love
After all I rise above
