Mad Enough Too Scream Sad Enough Too Tear

Sat here again screwing over what I’ve lost 
Mad enough too scream sad enough too tear
Inside I’m annoyed heartbroken and cross
as of the point of no return I’m well clear

I was in a place isolated in pain 
Comfy in a social group to then stray
those faces consistent in my life never changed
but the friendships they represented went strange

When I was needing and weak 
labelled pathetic attention seek
after their broken legs and heads lost from reality 
for years I’d been looking outwardly 
but I didn’t see it come back too me

It was all about them and I’d been naive aiding
self centred, I learnt when I needed saving
hypocrites judging any wrong in how I was behaving
telling their opinions spread too see me then cave in

Refusing to acknowledge my situation
they were selfish 
but telling everyone put eyes on me
and suddenly they’re selfless

It was all about reputation not friendship
those whom I befriended left me friendless 

So I’m sat here again chewing over what I lost
mad enough too scream sad enough too tear
Inside I’m confused heartbroken and lost
mad enough too scream sad enough too tear
