Alone Is What You Are

How much can you fake

before they see all your mistakes

how much further can you go

before they all begin to show

when your life begins to fade

and the decisions that you've made

leave you not knowing what to do

as if you do not have a clue.

Your tied up in yourself

to obsessed in your self-worth

think of this all as a game

don't relize who your causing pain

and at this point don't really care

don't see how your not being fair.

You try so hard but still aren't seen

In the end your only mean

shattered by your hopeless dreams

you have noone on which to lean

you lost the things that made you,you

because the things you said weren't true

you don't even have a home

how does it feel to be alone.
