Brutal Battle With Love

I feel like I'm wasting away
in this life I call my very own
my heart feels empty and sad
as I sit here all alone.

Always when I think things are right
they turn out to be completely wrong
alls I want is to be happy
a feeling I wished for all along.

I don't know why I hide
in this world I call my lonely mind
but somehow it makes me feel safe
from evil of any kind.

I don't like to be hurt
or feel any kind of pain
but somehow it always comes around
and a broken heart is what I gain.

Why do I have to be so shy
why can't I just tell him how I feel
did I ever tell him how much I'm scared
of being in any kind of love that's real.

I'm a coward of love
like a child hiding in a shadow
I'm to scared to endure it
all along its been a brutal battle.

Broken hearts
so many times before
every time makes it harder to feel
what love even has to offer anymore.
