So I keep asking myself why I keep trying to fight these battles I know I have already lost, And never looking forward enough to recognize the cost. When this had been a train with no stops to let myself recover, And I was constantly leaving my imprint in the thoughts of all the others. I was trying to heal without letting it cross my mind, Of the time I was touched and the choice wasn't mine. I kept building all my relationships on vanity and lust When I realized there wasn't anyone left I could trust. Maybe I needed to grow up a little, Gain some self respect back, Stop smoking cigarettes and drinking six packs. Maybe it was my fault and I miscalculated my moves, And I was a pawn in chess and he was a black shadow in the corner of the room. I wish I could've told someone earlier, Rebuild the barriers that were crossed, I just keep asking myself why I keep trying to fight these battles I know I have already lost.
