Walk away
If I treated people the way they treat me
How unhappy people would be.
I trust people that is my mistake
Everyone just likes to take
I give my all
Just to fall
Do they not know
The pain may not show
But everywhere I go
I'm used
Abused
I have feelings deep inside
No matter how hard I have tried
I'm human too
You make my soul blue
True
I have a heart
You tear it apart.
Why I stay away
With hard words they play
Taking me down
I do not like town
I feel I do not belong
I try to stay strong
So hard to do
When the sky is not always blue
My heart feels pain
Upon my soul a stain
Trying hard not to hate
Such a horrible fate
Walk away
Have no place to stay
Do not care
Do not dare
This is my life
So tired of the strife
Walk away
My heart does say
But everywhere I go
I know
People are bad
Makes me sad
Take all I have and want more
I sleep on the floor
So just kick me out the door
So tired
Mankind is fired
Will help you no more
Closing that door
Looking after only me
That is how it should be
But I can not
For my soul would rot
I should
If only I could
Turn my back on mankind
Just more lonely will I find
Not my world here
I fear
I have nothing left to give
Yet still I live
Wonder why
All that's left is the tears you cry
