Pang

Sometimes it seems so tough

Good friends are not enough

And I'm powerless to help

When you take it all upon yourself

x

Twenty Four hours too late I sit alone in a dingy chinese restaurant, stare out the window, and think, "What the hell did I just do?"

x

Feels like you just can't win

The whole wide world is closing in

And it's so hard not to think the worse

When you're the centre of the universe

x

The thick metal door clangs shut leaving me alone in the darkness and for the first time I wonder if I'm as dangerous as they think I am.

x

I see you struggling with the weight of the world

Remember I'm always by your side

Too many problems for one little girl

I'll be beside you when all your tears have dried

x

Each blow hits me harder than the one before and I suddenly feel more vulnerable than I thought possible.

x

I lay next to you at night

I know something's just not right

But there's nothing I can say

When you feel ten thousand miles away

x

The dark view of the destruction I have caused stuns me into silence and brings back cold memories of the wreckage I've already left behind.

x

I don't have all the answers yet

But I get scared when you're upset

And your heart feels like an empty home

When you feel so scared and all alone

x

Terror beats at my soul as I stand on the brink of ultimate disgrace and I realize...this can't end well.

x

Think everybody's talking about you

And conspiring to bring you down

You're thinking that nobody loves you

Ever wonder why I'm still around?
