Hope Is Hard To Keep

Hope is so hard to keep, when every day of the week is filled with misery These memories you put in my head spread like a disease in my mind All the time I’ve wasted living in the past Time and time again, I told myself it wouldn’t last Just more promises I couldn’t keep to myself You were so hypnotizing That I just couldn’t see and couldn’t believe, that everything was fallacy Every second that passes is just another thought I regret more anger I can’t forget more of the past that won’t last There’s so much I can’t stand as I’m looking at my bruised hand and feel this rage I’ve kept trapped inside for so long finally taking its toll on me With my cracked knuckles I know that I can still feel With this pain that’s living inside I know that I am still real and you’re just stealing all of my time You’re just stealing what’s rightfully mine
