Broken Wings

I’m tired of trying to be right,
When no matter what I’m wrong,
I’m close to giving up this fight
And I can’t bear hearing anymore love songs…

How is it that I can never make you smile?
You always need my full attention
Or you throw a fit for awhile
I’m in desperate need of some affection.

I wish I could show you,
The thoughts that cross my mind
But now I don’t know what’s true
And I’m running out of time…

I’m not sure really what to do
If I told you I love you, I’d be a liar
Those words were only meant for a few
And they make my level of desperation grow higher.

I hate the way you treat me,
But life is just unfair
But don’t say we were meant to be,
And don’t tell me that you care!

You never did and you never will.
All I wanted was for you to be happy…
And you’re the reason I’m so fragile,
Just from the way you yell and treat me…

I’m treated poorly and walked on like dirt,
No more love and joy
Just manipulated and hurt
You’re broken toy…

But no more,
I’ll stand on my own
Because even if I have nothing worth living for,
I’m not afraid to face this world alone…

Because how can I miss you if you never were here?
You forced me to grow up and be strong,
I won’t cry for you, not a tear,
Because I was alone all along.

“A fallen angel,
Destined to fly,
Broken and crazy,
But too strong to cry.”
