There's this look people give you You're trying to see it for yourself Fighting in between people Squeezing in, trying to get a peek Only to end up with the same thing I've been seeing for 2 years: Disappointment It's the look on the faces of people who believed in you Who told you you could do it It's that look of pity, sadness As if you've lost everything again It just adds to the agony of it all Confirming the nightmare before my eyes It's the worst ******* look people can give you It's the same words over and over again "It's okay" "you're better than that" "there's always next time" It's not okay **** it This is the next time It was like Trying to build a sandcastle You put everything you've got Your blood, sweat, tears, money and time You try to keep the sandcastle up And even if the tide begins to rise to the foot of your castle You still continue to build it And in the end It would just be destroyed by a single wave Tell me that it's okay That i put the best parts of myself out there And i spent every waking moment trying to get everything right And I worked so **** hard for it Only to end up in a puddle of my own tears, self pity and despair
