You want to cry but don't know how
You want it to end but they don't see why
It will happen it will start now
You know it is about to happen, you want to fly
They say you need to but you won't
Love is lost in the midst of pain
They say you have to but you don't
Hopelessness dances from heart to brain
Pain is burning you like a fire
You can't stand it, hoping it will move over
You want this pain to expire
Luck has run out, you lost your four-leaf clover
Fighting this is hard
Once you experience it, you will know why
Your body feels like it is made of card
You pray no one will drive by
How much can you take before your mind breaks?
Now that it has been torn apart
Never believe the care that life fakes
Just take back your heart.
