My Life

Depression, in the name of love, is still depression.

I blink the tears back
From my eyes
And finally
I realize
How stupid I was
To believe in love
And think that it was for me

I’ve felt the breaking
Of my heart
Each and every
Time I start
To think that I
Could ever find
Someone to call my own

As I remember my life
I feel no pain
Everything I’ve done
It’s all the same
I laugh, I cry
I wonder why
Alone, I’ll live my life

The names may change
But the answers the same
I laugh on the outside
But the pains still the same
So I sit and wait
In a world of hate
With only myself to blame

I’m getting good at hiding
All the hurt I’ve known
From my unchanging life
From hearing the word no
The world still turns
The fires still burn
But inside my heart is still

All that I want
Is one more chance
To find my way
Home from this dance
Home from the tears
Home from the fears
Home to my hearts last song
