Downhearted

Shutting gates...let me in...

You understand better than anyone,

So how could you expect me to go on?

When there is nothing left for me,

Just empty seeds and a shell of who I used to be,

Downhearted and frustrated on most days,

All hope I had is stripped away,

So what would you have me do?

I’ve done everything,

I already know what they’re gonna say,

I see it in their face.

“A moment of weakness…a selfish act…”

Proof no one really listens,

I took matters into my own hands,

…Please understand.

Each painful breath feels like a kick in the chest,

How could you expect me to go on like this?

Yet they’ll have the nerve to call me “selfish”,

“A moment of weakness” a moment of weakness?

This could be the bravest thing I’ll ever do,

You have to understand, you have to,

If there’s a plan, I don’t see it,

If you showed me love, I didn’t feel it,

These words aren’t for them, they’re all too late,

Please don’t deny me your gates…

So what would have me do?

Already know what they're gonna say,

I see it in their face.

“A moment of weakness…a selfish act…”

Proof no one really listens,

So I took matters into my own hands,

…Please understand…please let me in.
