This isn’t the life
I signed up to live
One with all this drama
The twists and turns
Few moments of mercy
Wasn't what I had in mind
A one-way ticket to nowhere
That’s left me stranded
On the sidewalk of life
The outside looking in
As happier lives go by
Makes me wish and wonder
How I made it this far
Why I started at all
I don’t want to go back
Into the rough and tough
And lose myself
In a life I never knew
Can’t take any rides
No, not from a stranger
Wouldn’t want to live their life
Not when I know what it’s like
To be suspended in nothing
Seeing it all go by
Wanting, feeling, pleading
It’s not the life I signed up for
I shuffle forward,
Guess I’ll have to walk
Can’t stay on this corner for long
I might get crowded off
Moving slowly
On emotionless squares
Colorless, meaningless
But a broken pathway
My heart is as gray
As the stones once were
Now worn white from age
I wish it were black
And able to feel
How did this turn so bleak?
Why is it all falling apart?
Fading away as I speak
Empty words that echo
Not a shred of sense
Words that cannot guide me
In a present tense
Not even a warning
Of these cracks and holes ahead
One step away from death
Crumbling, breaking
This sidewalk is filled with them
Mistakes I never made
And ones I couldn’t fix
The sadness is not my doing
I want to tell someone
To shift the blame over
To clear a blotted name
Tip-toeing over
Around the edge of danger
Maybe if I’m careful
I won’t fall inside
And I can keep walking
Just barely hiding
Everything I dream
This isn’t the life I signed up for
But I guess it’ll have to do
There must be something more
Maybe I’ll find the answer
Behind a broken door
The answer that was given to me
The one I’ve been waiting for
