What is this life

that I live

What is this life

that I always seem to give

What is this life

When I'm willing to strive

What is this life

When everyone is

Choosing me for their wife.


What is this life

When I'm always in tears

What is this life

When I always fear

What is this life

When no one whants to come near

What is life

When everyone is telling me

'Get out of here'


What is this life 

When no one cares

What is this life

When no one is there


What is this life

When you always have

pain inside


believe me,it's not

a pretty sight


What is this life

When it's always dark 

and not light

What is this life

When everyone seems to fight 

What is this life

When everyone tells all 

these lies

What is this life

When everyone thinks that

you're not right


What is this life

When everyone wants to die

What is this life

When everyone seems to cry

What is this life

When no one is safing 

your life

What is this life

When people cut you up

inside with a knife


What is this life

When no one wants to

be apart of your life

What is this life

When you just give up

on everything inside

What is this life

When people kill

What is this life

When everyone wants

to die by taking a pill


What is this life

When everyone wants to steal

What is this life

When someone wants to

take their own life

and just die
