where am I now can I progress to anything things just won't fall in my lap and it doesn't seem to matter how much I want 'cause I can't be satisfied and gradually I will come to realize what I want from life who or what will it be tonight is it so wrong that I just want someone to show a little interest and am I selfish 'cause I can't accept "sure okay" for an answer I sure wish I could betrayal, so wrong it's over, you're done you've had your fun my heart is broken your eyes, they speak to me I think you want this, you want this so there went my week, I still don't know just where I am or where I'll go so should I try, the answer is here tomorrow will only bring a new mistake I'm asking you what would you say if I told you that I'm the one with the little interest would you react or would I jump right back to where I started it's all just so wrong

here in America they say that we are free entitled to opinions but we’re judged for what they might be we can live in a place without any change and I wish today would be different but I knew it'd end up the same oh I don’t wanna be, I don't wanna be whatever description that you labeled me and nobody cares at all my failure's your pleasure it never gets better I can't accept your words and I won't let them touch my pride we’re simple in our complexion then we're labeled and just tossed aside there’s nothing to say, there's nothing I can say to make things better I wish that today would be different I should have known better

morality strikes, put your mind to the scale if you're willing you know just where you stand there's a fine line from faith to corruption we grow up hating others' perceptions wrong is right in this world that we live in how could you kill to appeal to some fucking religion just do as you're told, do as you're told deep beneath you must lay a reason besides the stories your faith has told you continue to believe, without questioning we live and we learn, but for some minds are set in upbringing you know only beliefs that were planted inside you so early life is short, it can pass in a heartbeat waste away to amount to something how could you kill to appeal to some fucking religion just do as you're told, do as you're told
4.
finally, the way I carry myself comes naturally but I don't understand how I can change when you're around me something's wrong release this vise, ‘cause I’m frustrated I can't keep hiding in this smile I can try to for a little longer I can't stop lying to myself I'm stuck between these lines I'm drawing I can't keep crying it's your brown eyes that keep me here it’s your eyes that keep me here I'm stalling, but I’m not trying to there must be something else that I can do to keep you here forgive me, I don't know how to act when you're near me something pulls me back you say you feel the way I do, I don't see it. I can't keep hiding in this smile I can try to for a little longer I can't stop lying to myself, myself I'm lost again, I'm sick of searching I can't keep lying it's your brown eyes that keep me here it’s your eyes that keep me here but behind those eyes there's something more I'm falling for more than just another pretty face I adore you so

hold tight, breathe easy we're starving ourselves with anxiety constantly we’re trying to run let's slow down and try walking sometime looking back at my change of direction I now can say that I have learned that she's not important and I was foolish to care so much why do we try so hard when satisfaction is so close these days it's hard enough to please myself you'll just have to wait in line sit down and take a number we're all looking for our answers and I'm still learning how to breathe again turn around, take two steps back there must be bigger worries life is full of questions we can answer them if we take the time sometimes things don't work out sit back and try to believe focus, don't procrastinate don't sidetrack yourself like I did so let me be your reminder and let me make the mistake for you and I've learned she wasn't worth it and I've learned patience is a virtue

shit happens I can't believe the irony it slaps me in the face it kills all my expectations and I know the unlikely is likely to happen good or bad, you'll never know let's just say I've done some growing this year more than I can handle and I'll never forget this year now you're gone, and so far away now you're gone, and nothings the same I lie in bed and reminisce the times we had laughter was familiar tragedy has stripped from us the life you had much too soon how can I keep growing this year, without you I'll never forget this year and now you're gone and nothing’s left to fill the gaps of the doors that you've left wide open and now you're gone and all that's left are picture frames of memories of you
7.
this time I've gone too far take back the things I've said I'm always wanting more why do I end up with less why do I end up with less of what seems to be the honest person that I'm trying to be for you, I’m trying to be for you and it's damn hard but I'll carry on 'cause I need your support and I need you to care 'cause I'm nothing without you, I’m nothing without you I'll fold, I’m done I hate how I make you cry self-conscious significance push all those tears aside why do I end up with less why do I end up with less of the simple satisfaction of the time we've spent together the answer to this is myself how I can't keep it together will my selfishness get better, someday I'll get better
8.
I'm sorry that I'm not what you expected (nothing ever works out) need I ignore you now (no) I can't live facing these regrets I won't live without them how will things turn out you threw it all away is that how you see things I guess we live through different eyes we see through different pasts I won't be what you want me to be should I try a little less just to suffer all the more is this what you want from me are you ashamed of me could this hurt any more this may be the most important thing I'll ever say but if it's all the same I'll bide my words and wait for better ones to take their place and this I beg of you please don't think out loud and keep your life to yourself I'm not the one to volunteer (I’m not the one) to suffocate (to suffocate)

Confidence 04:32
I can’t find my confidence today and I don't feel like ever waking up you don't look so bad yourself today hear the words I say I speak them you just run away and I can't show you how real how real things could be yeah and I believe that you could feel that you could feel something when you’re close there's things I want to say but I end up just not speaking at all and if I spoke I fear you'd look the other way a smile's not displayed my confidence erased

it's always he said, she said I don't wanna listen to your bullshit anymore the things you say embed plastic images I'm trying but it's hard to ignore the false accusations you make the fingers you point at my friends why point the finger at all we can take that road but it's a steep climb and it seems that we lose so much more then we'll ever obtain I can write that song I'm guilty of blaming too the drama we cause all needs to come to an end there's only two weeks left can't we put all of this nonsense behind us and try to smile a little bit more frequently the air is stale around you I'm cold and nobody cares anymore it's time to tie up those loose ends there comes a time to let go
