Too may tears cried
So many words left unsaid
The pain of tomorrow
Fills the gap of yesterday
We search but no answers
Are ever truly found
We wear ourselves thin
Working for every extra dollar
Longing for just a little more
But it's never enough
Our hearts are handed
To others on a platter made of glass
The shattered ones are our mistakes
For those are the ones we choose to break
Bodies worn beyond their years
Filled with emptiness and space
Nothing more than an empty place
Wasted and unwanted
Our souls struggle
For just one more fighting chance
It's the only part meant to last
Lives wasted in wants and needs
Choices made just for us
We never really cared much beyond ourselves
A life lived just for me
Knowing now why so many tears shed
And so many words left unsaid
