Prove To Me

I need you to prove to me
That I mean something
And that there's more to this life
Than what I'm living

Life is a game
But there's no way to win
I keep trying to fix my mistakes
I need to find the restart button

Is it possible to feel
Anything but contempt?
You never treat me right. 
You don't even attempt. 

There's a darkness that surrounds me
It's seemingly invisible
Only the 'good' can see it
An aura that is indivisible. 

This dark gloomy life
Is too much for the good to bear
That's why only the good die young
And their fate, is what I'll share. 

So tonight,
I'll say goodbye
To the dark 
And desolate sky

My faith in humanity 
Cannot be restored 
And this life I lead
will be no more.
