My Song

Everything I do surrounds these pieces
of my life that often change
Or maybe I've changed

Sometimes seeming happy can be self-destructive
Even when you're sane
Or you're insane

But don't bother waking me today

Here I am
I'm so young
I know I've been bitter
I've been jaded, I'm alone
Everyday I bite my tongue
If you only knew
My mind was full of razors
To cut you like a word if only sung

But this is my song

I live everyday
Like they'll never be a last one
Till they're gone
And they're gone
But I'm too proud to beg for
Your attention and your friendship
And your time
So you could come and get it from now on

Here I am
I'm so young
I know I've been bitter
I've been jaded, I'm alone
Everyday I bite my tongue
If you only knew
My mind was full of razors
To cut you like a word if only sung

But this is my song
It's my song
