You Can't Save the World Alone

by bleed4eternity   Dec 31, 2006


You can't be everyone's superman
You can't save the world
You are one man against the masses
You can only handle so much

Soon you will split at the seams
Too much shit that you held inside
Everyone's secrets, everyone's pain
All the emotions they hide

You see it all
You hear it all
And all you can do
Is watch them all fall

You're an angel in their eyes
You're the gift from above
But hun you can't play god
Not everything is fixed with love

You try so damn hard
Pouring out your heart and soul
To save the damned of the earth
Who are begging to be whole

You continue to give
A piece of your heart
And all you receive
Is worlds torn apart

So sweetie please stop
And look around
And see that there's no answers
To be found

It is you against the world
So remember to save your self
You can't be everyone's everything
You have to let go...

    Pretty dang good! I loved this stanza the best:

    You continue to give
    A piece of your heart
    And all you receive
    Is worlds torn apart

    I think on your last stanza you can put something like this:

    It is you against the world
    Don't forget to save your self
    You really have to let go...
    You can't save the world alone.

    I think it would go great with your title at then end.. But other than that you did an amazing job!

    Excellent

    5/5
