then came reality slicing it's knife.
I still kept a smile and held back the tears,
tried to overcome every heartbreak and fight through the fears.
I just kept pushing hoping and praying,
lying in wait for something to come and change my fate.
I did what people said and tried to be strong,
I gave up I waited so long.
I failed and many times over,
I tried doing it high,
I tried doing it sober.
I loved for real and for fake,
giving it try just for the sake.
I thought if I was pretty and witty and played it smart,
I would find something real to heal my heart.
I never really thought I was just a game for someone to play,
someone bored seeking to tame.
I was full of spirit and hopeful dreams,
now I cry and drown out my screams.
No mater how hard I try to outrun the pain,
it lurks in the back of my brain.
I will myself to keep going, never knowing what might change my fate,
I am afraid if I stop I just might break.

I once had a dream it, it was big and so full of life,
then came reality slicing it's knife.
I still kept a smile and held back the tears,
tried to overcome every heartbreak and fight through the fears.
I just kept pushing hoping and praying,
lying in wait for something to come and change my fate.
I did what people said and tried to be strong,
I gave up I waited so long.
I failed and many times over,
I tried doing it high,

I loved for real and for fake,

I never really thought I was just a game for someone to play,

I was full of spirit and hopeful dreams,
now I cry and drown out my screams.
No mater how hard I try to outrun the pain,

I will myself to keep going, never knowing what might change my fate,
I am afraid if I stop I just might break.
