Balled up and thrown away
So many memories I had
Crumbled and tossed today
So many thoughts turned bad
So many nights I lie awake
So many dreams I don’t see
My happiness, I tried to fake
So many times, I wish I wasn’t me
Torn down and stored away
All these pictures from my past
Like an empty dream from that day
Why’d the emptiness last?
Beaten down and broken again
The days I seem to live
Lifted up by you my friend
I wish I could take what you give
So many nights I lie awake
So many dreams I don’t see
My happiness, I tried to fake
So many times, I wish I wasn’t me
So many times you come to me
So many nights we should be
So many dreams never can be true
Empty nights here without you
Lifted up and carried away
Smiles of things I see to come
You brought joy and took the pain
You turned the hurt to numb
So many nights you set me free
All these dreams, I’ve kept with me
So many times, you’ve soothed the pain
All my mind, it still remains
So many nights I lie awake
So many dreams I don’t see
My happiness, I tried to fake
So many times, I wish I wasn’t me
Lift my teary face, from my hands
Wash away the life I despise
Build with me, these new plans
Stop searching, you’re in my life.
So many nights, I push away the cold
So many times, do what I’m told
Even though, I can’t let go
Empty dreams, I still don’t know
So many nights I lie awake
So many dreams I don’t see
My happiness, I tried to fake
So many times, I wish I wasn’t me
So many nights, I dream of you
So many thoughts, I always thought
So many times, what do I do?
So many times, I’ve been forgot
Crumbled up and thrown away
Past memories, footprints in the sand
Footprints washing away
So many times, I’m my own man.
So many nights I lie awake
So many dreams I don’t see
My happiness, I tried to fake
So many times, I wish I wasn’t me
