Need To

by Emma Carnage   May 16, 2005


Sometimes you have to fail to succeed
Sometimes you have to give up those you love to make them happy
And them being happy is all that matters
Sometimes you have to nearly die in order to live
Sometimes you have to break down in order to take control
Sometimes you have to whisper your screams
Sometimes you have to bleed in order to stay whole
Sometimes you have to be insane for just a moment to stay sane
Sometimes you have to cry to be happy
Sometimes you have to break your heart in order to love

Sometimes I don't want to fail or succeed
Sometimes I don't want to give up those I love
Sometimes I don't want to nearly die just so I can live
Sometimes I don't want to lose or be in control
Sometimes I don't have any screams to whisper
Sometimes I don't want to be whole if it means to bleed
Sometimes I don't want to be sane or insane
Sometimes I don't want to cry in order to be happy
Sometimes I don't want to love if it means breaking my heart

I hope I don't fail and I always succeed
I hope I don't need to give up those I love to make them happy
I hope I never have to nearly die (again) in order to live
I hope I don't need to break down to take control
I hope I don't have to whisper my screams
I hope I don't have to bleed to stay whole
I hope I can stay sane without first going insane
I hope I can be happy without having to cry
I hope I can love without first breaking my heart

Even though I don't want to
And I hope I don't have to
I know that I will need to
In order to breathe
