Another Day Just the Same

I can only remember how it use to be
when life had simplicity
 
it use to have such meaning 
now it just the same

waking up in the morning
and sleeping in the night

no more living the life
that had so much delight

now its more or less the same
just workin hard enduring the pain

it just another day just the same
there's no havin my cake and eattin it too
 
its just more sadness 
that i go through

i can only bear a little more
as once again i close the door

on the day thats just the same
its like walkin in the rain

day after day
there isn't a change

its just another day one in the same

The More I Try

the more i try to show you exactly who i am you turn your back on me and i don't know why 
my heart ached for you and it shattered really fine 
i kissed my futures goodnight and drummed up my strength to cry
i am a mourning masochist and a shattered sadist i cut my soul just to see if it's real
your heart never knew the dangers in my eyes i am sick inside my soul over and over again 
i can't think about the futures without realizing the past knowing i was wrong when i chose to 
make love to you each time i felt dejected because i was untrue my heart cried bloody 
murder when i feel in love with you i screamed to the heavens and shouted down to hell i 
needed you to love me but my futures are too bright i thought it was love but i now came to 
see that deep inside of me i truly hate you there wasn't any guilt when i let you go i felt 
more relief that i don't have to try no more.

How Could I

How could I love someone like you
when clearly you don't believe me true
All I wanted was to feel your tender caress
Above my soft silky dress
 
How could I love someone like you
when I cant stand it when you call me boo
All I wanted was to taste your smooth lips
As your arms encircled my small hips

How could I love someone like you
When solemnly I beckon to you
All I wanted was your humble embrace
just as you kissed my face

How could I love someone like you
when all i cared about wasn't you
All a wanted was for you to love me
But now i know it could never be
