My Breaking Point

I used to be so optimistic Now, I feel like a pathetic stranger I used to be so enthusiastic I have to deal with more danger… Now I am Lacking potential, strength and intelligence I used to be a cheerful kid I used to be a real bad boy But, now I am Mature enough to face my consequences I used to be so courageous I used to be such a genius But, now I am Guilty for letting go of my innocence… I wept silently…tears bounce off my eyes These voices in my head are telling me lies But, now I am Close to my breaking point My bones are out of joint There’s no more room for happiness All of my joy is faltering… As I hear you hollering You pushed me around like some worthless door I stand up for myself and face my fears All I hear is your jeers I used to be a cheerful kid I used to be a real bad boy But, now I am Mature enough to face my consequences I used to be so courageous I used to be such a genius But, now I am Guilty for letting go of my innocence… I wept silently…tears bounce off my eyes These voices in my head are telling me lies But, now I am Close to my breaking point Don’t weigh me down…you’re as cruel as gravity You demolished my sanity I’m pushing forward…never looking down ‘Cause when I do look down, I can’t help but frown I must get out of here… Before I get swallowed up in my fear Of losing this battle…of uncertainty Don’t bottle up tainted misery I keep telling you, “There’s always tomorrow To do what you love to do best…just rest, Darling…please, hear me out!” You just turn the other way I suppose today was a humiliating day I see you run away… I used to be a cheerful kid I used to be a real bad boy But, now I am Mature enough to face my consequences I used to be so courageous I used to be such a genius But, now I am Guilty for letting go of my innocence… I wept silently…tears bounce off my eyes These voices in my head are telling me lies But, now I am Close to my breaking point I used to chase after you, but I’d rather not… I didn’t mean to leave you to rot I got to leave this wretched place Because when I ARRIVED, I felt like a disgrace I’m planted on the spot Now, there’s no way to leave this terrible, Terrible lot
