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?
