Everything I Once Had, Nothing I Could Keep (Failures Confession

Tears can fall but they’ll always dry
And eyes will never be able to see
The pain it takes to try to change
Undo the s h i t I’ve done to me

To have you believe in what I can become
And look at me with something other than hate
Something better than disappointment
Unaltered by my inevitable fate

Make me independent in your heart
Because I am nothing like they are
I can change, I swear I can
If you wouldn’t push me so damn far

I’m weak though I may not show it
But fresh scars will show that’s true
He died and they gave up on me
Please don’t leave, I need you

“A letter’s worth a thousand words”
A thousand words I’ll never say
A thousand words I’ll hide behind false smiles
A thousand words to kill me everyday

These hearts are beating faster
As danger kisses near
A hand to hold that will let go
Disappointment, unabashed fear

These emotions are so hard to hide
This guilt is overwhelmingly sad
In the end I stare in hate
Remembering you were everything I once had
