shadows of my life

sad

shadows of my life

for countless nights i lie awake
waiting for my soul to break 
they say that soon ill be fine 
and that ill get some peace of mind
i hope they say this not in vain 
cause right now i live my life in pain
each day the hurt gets worse and worse
right now it feels that life's a curse 
they say hang on they tell me i'm strong 
i know they're right but it all feels wrong 
it's hard to handle the nightmares i face 
it makes the world an unlivable place
i used to see the good in the bad 
but now i just see the things i had 
who knew that life came with such cost 
not sure i can count all that ive lost  
i used to be smart and kind and sweet
but this made me blind and came with defeat
ive tried to be proud and except things as they are
but no one will love me and who can with all my scars 
i messed myself up no one else is to blame 
but that's the kind of life that comes with the game 
i knew form the start that things were't right 
but still i went down without a fight 
i sit all alone and try not to cry 
thinking how much easier it would be to die 
i live for the saying this too shall pass
and i wont let this obstacle be my last 
ive delt with hurt and so much more 
so i'll try to work it out just like before
