Words

That's all I have

I don’t wanna live a lie

I’ve heard it all before

I refuse to let us fade

Away like memories lost to the wind

NO

I will stand my ground and fight for who I am

Everyone’s watching

They see past all the nonsense

I feel all the pressure carving a hole into my back

Perfection is what they want

They don’t even realize I’m hurting,

Dying inside

It’s not easy

I’m human

I exist

You can’t act like me, if you’re not me

You want proof ask

I’ll show you

Who

I

Am inside not the facade I put up in front

Of those who’re fake

Running out time

Decision to be made

I can’t make up my mind or my heart

I’m being indecisive on the path to follow

What do you

The question on everybody's mind

All they want is a fake explanation on who I’m not

All I can do is say yes,but oh so desperately

Want to say no

I can’t

I won’t

Apologize for the thousands of mistakes

I’ve made

Giving unworthy people my forgiveness and

Second chances repeatedly

All they ever want to say is

SORRY

But it always fall on deaf ears

I’m sorry that your efforts were wasted

Trying to get the forgiveness I hope to

One day receive from myself

I miss who I was

Yet it’s too late

The person who I was can no longer be the

Person I am

LOVE

I don’t want anyone thinking I care

No matter how much I do

I refuse to admit being wrong or defeat

Against anyone,but GOD

If you think I still care

You need a reality check

LOVE is for those who believe that

FAKE FACADE all these shitheads say

Sex is what most guys want,but

Those gentlemen and sweethearts are so rare we

Fuck up and fall for the assholes and shitheads

What we need is

To LOVE OURSELVES

Because we can’t love anyone without

LOVING OURSELVES
