Nothing of My Own

MY FUTURE IS STANDING STILL
IM SLEEPING WHEN AND WHERE EVER I CAN
I HAVE NO MONEY NO CAR
IM ON A CONSTANT BATTLE WITH THE STARS
WHY IS LIFE CHALLENGING ME
AND WHY AM I LOSING
AM I CAUSING MY OWN PAIN
AM I DESTROYING MY OWN PLANS
I PUSHED AWAY EVERYONE WHO LOVED ME
BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY WERE HURTING ME
AND NOW IM ALL ALONE
WITHOUT AN ARM TO HOLD ME
WHAT DID I DO THAT WAS SO WRONG
HOW DID I END UP WITH NOTHING
HOW DID I GET MYSELF INTO A SITUATION
I CANT ESCAPE FROM...
