You've picked yourself up,
just to be knocked down
drank from an empty cup,
when thirst for love came around
Gave freely of your heart,
when others wanted your soul,
made yourself make a new start,
Stopped, when you wanted to go
You've died inside, when you found you couldn't have life
Swallowed your pride, in the name of love
absorbed words that cut like a knife
Smiled on the outside, while inside you profusly bled
Acted like you were alive, not allowing anyone to see that you were dead
Tried to shine on anothers world bright, when yours was filled with rain
Cried alone in your bed at night, silently screamed out from the pain
Waited alone on a cold windy night, vividly recalling her face
Said you were wrong when you knew you were right, accepted leather, when you really needed lace
Searched for answers, when you didn't even know the questions
Been the singer and the dancer, when heartbreak tunes were the suggestions
And today my friend, One see's you agonize in hell,
while you pray to heaven above,
For...The End
