Sometimes I feel shattered and torn
I'm bleeding, I'm beaten and bruised.
All my feelings seem old and worn
Everything I hold I seem to eventually lose.

Sometimes I get so tired of this life
I'm screaming, I'm beaten and bruised.
Contemplations of an end with suicide
But its never what I finally choose.

Sometimes I need to be assured its ok
Cause I'm here, but beaten and bruised.
Everyone seems to misread the words I say
I can see it in their eyes, they're confused.

Sometimes I want to just leave this all
Shifted gears, but still beaten and bruised.
They're all laughing as I give into another fall
I feel so cheap and altogether used.
