A Wasted Life

So you wanna open your eyes

take a look at what you find

grasp at the things that make you feel

grasp at what makes you real

So you want yourself to be known

to be known for who you are

do exactly what you want to do

those others they don't have a clue

So you want to cherish every step you take

Don't want to live a life of being fake

you want to hold on to your past

your past is what will make you last

You want to live up to all your dreams

don't rip them apart at the seams

don't live a day hiding behind lies

your always beautiful in someone's eyes

So I heard just the other day

You let your life slip away

You couldn't hang on for very long

Your life turned out all wrong

You didn't listen to what your friends said

You wouldn't let them in your head

You never knew what love was for

love came around and you slammed the door

You were skating on thin ice

trying to avoid all the cracks

Now you have to pay the price

you fell down right on your back

you used up all nine lives

no one hears your deep dark cries

you are gone not having a name

your life will never be the same
