Song: Sometimes your best is wasted

 

torn by the violence in your darkly silent heart 

swallowed that bitterly taste of

disappointment and then some


Nothing's a given 

nothings a given 


hung in for that toe to toe pound 
made the bed and lay in it 
tore the sheets looking for love
But your heart could not be found

 

Nothings a given 

nothings a given 

 

I know the way I want to go 
I'm not facing the same direction 
my mode of destruction

insurrection

 

Nothing's a given 
Nothing's a given 

 

smashed my heart on jagged rocks 
wrung out of emotion just short of numb

swallowed that bitterly taste of

disappointment and then some

Yeah Sometimes your best is wasted 

 

clawed my way through crazy logic 
stood up and took the beating 

 

hung in for that toe to toe pound 
made the bed and lay in it 
tore the sheets looking for love
Yet your heart could not be found.

 

Yeah Nothing's a given 

nothing's a given 

*
Sometimes your best is wasted... and then some

Ooo...a ssmooth song...

Shall we sing it together? May I add lyrics? Can we dance to the beat?



Silence tears into a darkened heart
Breaking the tethers holding everything together
Sometimes looking deep inside
I find
The broken pieces falling away


Nothing's a given
Oh, no, nothing's a given


Stand with me and show me what I mean
Let me know this bed that I am lying in
Is so much more than misery
Hold me close and let me know what I can be
Tell me that this life that I've been given
Is worth more than just it's history


Because nothing's a given
But this life that we live in


I know that I constructed
My destruction
I know that I can't stand alone
Looking for all the love I left behind
Hoping that it's something I know I can find
And from all the pain that I have tasted
I know that it's your best I've wasted


Because nothing's a given
Oh no, nothing's a given


Every time I try, I realize this life I lead
Is nothing more than all the thing I make it to be
And every time I think that I have found the strength to shine
I realize that all I ever seem to do is hide


Sometimes
I see what I've wasted
Sometimes
I just can't take it


When I see the place I need to be
I never follow where the story leads
And I find inside myself
That I've created my own hell


No one can make me be anything
Only I can choose what's right for me
Because no matter what is written
Nothing's a given


And although I have the strength to change this
Sometimes my best is wasted

SometimesI see what I've

Sometimes
I see what I've wasted
Sometimes
I just can't take it

When I see the place I need to be
I never follow where the story leads
The question remains and I ask myself,

Why do I wander to these things I see

Why do I lose faith in what's really me?

 

 

"And although I have the strength to change this
Sometimes my best is wasted"....great line. Truly needs to be put to music. 


...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

A fantastic write for the

A fantastic write for the romantically delusioned. You speak the truth about real life, Ssmoothest, and do so in such a way, that has the right essence, the exact ingredients, to see both sides realistically...and yet, I know you always keep 'the dream' safely tucked away. ♥ Sometimes all we need to do is a bit of renovation on our "dreams".
