Bad Things, Good People

Bad things
Happen to good people
For no apparent reason
Bad things
Happen to good people
No matter time or season
You do the best you can
Then your whole world
Turns upside down
You take it
Turn the other cheek
Only to get kicked
While you’re still down
You try to grin and bear it
You try to overcome
Your burden, you can’t share it
Because you’re not the only one
Bad things
Happen to good people
It’s crazy
Because it’s true
Bad things
Happen to good people
What are we supposed to do?
Horrible people
Get all the breaks
They have all the luck
Bad things
Always happen
To good people
Seriously,
What the fuck?

Why Do I Cry?

Why
Do I cry
Over someone
Who doesn’t want
Me?
Why
Does it hurt
To miss someone
Who doesn’t see
Me?
Why
Do I try?
Why
Do I
Keep letting
You
Hurt Me?
Why
Do I care
That you’re not
There?
Why
Am I blind
To all that is
Here
Right here
In front of
Me?
Why
Do I
Keep getting
My Hopes
Up?
When it is
Plain to see
That You
Don’t
Give A Damn
About
Me…

It Took Losing You, To Find Myself

It took losing you
To find myself
I thought you were want I wanted
More than anyone else
But now that you’re gone
I can finally see
I wasn’t looking for you
I was trying to re-find me
I wasn’t happy with the life I had
The constant monotony
Just made me sad
I poured my heart and soul
Into loving you
Spent all my time
Trying to build something new
Now I look back
And see that I was wrong
What I needed
Was in front of me all along
I was just blind
I couldn’t see
Too busy trying to be
Everything for someone else
Neglecting the one
Who loves me more
Than anyone else
It took losing you
To finally find myself
I thought I wanted you
But all I really wanted was me.
