I've been here before,
I'm not trying to ignore.
The fact that I am here again,
Somehow I just can't win.
These games of love and hate,
I somehow lose myself in the wait.
So I end up wasting the times,
And honestly I'm running out of rhymes.
So maybe I just won't fall in love anymore,
Maybe I'm tired of my heart being sore.
I've lost just about everything,
and clipped both of my own wings.
As I start to fall back down to Earth,
does anything I do have any worth?
I feel so alone,
And I just stare at my phone.
Waiting for the words I fear,
Knowing that they will always appear.
And once again I am all by myself,
I'll just put my broken heart on a shelf.
Never to be used in this life,
I can't take another bit of strife.
I'm just so tired of it all of this sadness,
All of this madness.
The world keeps throwing at me,
Why won't you just let me be!
Cause all that I ever wanted was to fall in love,
To spread my wings just like a dove.
But I find myself sitting here,
with the only feelings that I can hold dear.
Sorrow and loneliness,
Hatred and unhappiness.
They drag me down,
I hope I never drown.
And I don't know just how long I can last,
Could I ever put these things in my past?
The way that this cruel world works,
The way that the devil always lurks.
I am running out of strength move ahead,
And I lay here in my bed.
But I have chosen to face all my fears,
And dry up all my never ending tears.
To stand and never fall down,
To keep moving ahead wearing a golden crown.
I never chose to be this way,
But once again back into the fray.
I'm just so tried of the fall,
I'm tired of it all.
