sometimes I cry and wish I could die
from all the painful memories that keep drifting back in time
I can't understand why I strive to stay alive
I sit back and I think of all the things I've done
all the painful memories that I'm trying to overcome
can somebody tell me why I should strive to stay alive
It hurts so deep inside the pain is so unreal
everything I once loved I can now no longer feel
I don't know how I strive to stay alive
my life I can't erase it haunts me every night
tearing through my soul making me bleed deep inside
there's no way that I will survive and stay alive
death sounds so sweet what possibly could be worst
If I choose to take my life what a better punishment than earth
I can't think of a reason why I should try to stay alive
so to escape from my being I'll choose to write
to leave my memories behind I'll just dream all night
It's the only way I can strive to stay alive
