Is It?

I don’t like where this story of my life is headed,
The innocence  is gone,
This is like a sad, sad song,
 I was my slate was cleared,
 I wish life was as it appeared,
 I wish I could dance without these tears,
 I wish I had more years,
 I wish I knew what to say,
 When you found out that I can not stay,
 I wish I knew,
 I wish I could say something to comfort you,
 What do I get for all that I do?
 What do I get for loving you?
 Is it the pain and the heart ache?
 Is it the tears that have ran down my face?
 Is it the drugs that have taken my place?
