Breathe

Topic: EmotionalPoetry

where did this knife in my belly come from
it must be the one you put in my back
and all the things you need to be a decent human
those are things you lack

it's not that I'm not happy
I just don't want to smile
and it's not that I can't make it
I just need a while

and all you do is break me
that's all you do
and all you need is to drive me
crazy

here I am in the attic on a journey
trying to find the person I am
beating myself up from time to time
hoping that I'll give a damn

It's not that I'm not sturdy
I just need a helping hand
and it's not that I can't make it
it's just hard to stand

and all I need is to trust again
but it's hard to do
and all I need is to finally stop
crying

I flew too close to the sun again
and I finally fall
and you are the pity party crybaby
build another wall

It's not that you're too stupid
you just don't understand
and it's not that you're a boy still
you're just not a man

and time stands still for the oshun
in me
and all I have to do now
is breathe

wow this is awesome.i don tknow what 'oshun' is but its awesome all the same.
I love the verses where you go
'It's not that you're too stupid
you just don't understand
and it's not that you're a boy still
you're just not a man'
and all the ones similar.
really catchy.

~keep the faith~
