Lived too many Lives

my body ache and feel so old
my soul torn and winter's cold
i've lived too many lives

they say, "teenage is the best years of life
but carelessness can bring you demise"
lost in the petty things of life
i lost a precious chapter of my life

they say, "care for each other, care for the poor
but care even more about your mother"
forgot to tell her how much i love her
i still cry thinking about her last smile

they say, "love is a game
you should play it with caution and care"
i let the insecurity clouds surround my world
so i lost one more embracing touch

i want to set myself free
to adrift on the vast sea
or fly in the sky like any bird
i've lived too many lives, i'm tired of breathing
