Night time the perfect time
To stay up horrified at all the
Things we wish were different
But we know we won’t change them
So why
Do I run myself into corners
All the time
I wish I could honestly say I will try
To fix the situation
The other side’s appealing
But I don’t quite feel like feeling
Anymore
I don’t know where to draw the line
And even if I did, I bet
It’d hardly matter anyway
I don’t believe a word I say
So why
Do you make me explain myself
All the time
Don’t you ever wish you were someone else?
I try
To accept my reality
But all I want to be, it seems,
Is miserable
But you know that
Sometimes I’m scared
Of all the long nights I have
With plenty of time to think
And I think it’s kind of funny how
Years go by when you blink
And I stare, waiting for the morning
Cause it's all in my own mind
So why,
Do I still question my every move
I should close my eyes
And pray that morning will come soon
I cry
And stare at the ceiling in my room
There’s so little time and so much to do
And I’m miserable
Why do I have to feel so lonely
I would’ve been fine if you never told me
I’m miserable
But what else is new?
