Snaked
Everyday I face troubles to throw me off track
Gotta stay focused with only a few days left
People toy with your emotions
but life's always there you need to learn how to deal wit it
"One day I'll do what I'm suppose to" "Things will be different"
Life's always there you need to learn how to deal with it
I'm watching you fall. I don't know if you want my help
"Another day another hour I wish I had more power"
There's only so much I can do
I try to help what I can but I need to stay focused
My emotions are running rampant
But life's always there you need to learn how to deal with it
I ask for the time I need to get things done
I need to take care of myself before I can take care of another
After that then I'm all yours
Sometimes there isn't time to talk but I'm sure I make it up. I do my best to.
Life's always there you need to learn how to deal with it
Friends tear at my heart wishing it wasn't so hard
The silence kills me. I'm powerless over my emotions.
If you don't come to me I can't keep wasting my time coming to you.
I feel anxious in the pit of my stomach
I don't know what to do.
Will they make the call?
How many more hours will I sit here?
Life's always there you need to learn how to deal with it.
Right now my mission is to take care of me first
I need to keep myself sane
I need to keep myself happy
I can't give that all up to please another
Because what would I have left of myself?
A broken empty shadow.
I won't fall in the hole.
I won't fall in the trap.
I'm not being snaked through this one again.
