The Realization

My heart breaks open wide

Our actions collide; but our true feelings coincide

You can't stomp my pride

It's been crushed, and I built it back up

I won't back up; it's just not in me to quit

They try to put that label on me,

But it just won't fit

Don't feed me your bullshit

Cause I've heard and done it all

If you wanna test my knowledge

You oughtta know that I forsaw

Everything that's come to pass

You'd hoped I'd be the last

Too bad I was the first, cursed by my name

I try to enjoy the sunlight, but it just starts to rain

In many ways we're the same

Except I hate to see yours, but you seem to enjoy my pain

I'm so tired of waiting

The future is fading

I'm constantly wading in a big sea of doubt

I'm too far to give up, too proud to pout
