Pure Misery
Never do I remember breaking down being this easy…
So much pain, it’s making me dizzy
But the look on her face, and the tears in her eyes
Made it impossible to make her realize
She’s wrong, out of line, and way off base
And she had to go back, back to that place
Throwing the past in my face again
I never wanted to go back to then
Reliving it all, was more than I could take
A nightmare, from which I’ll never wake
I’m not a child, and you don’t understand
You’ve pushed me away
You’ll regret this day
Refusing to see what you’re doing to me
Never letting go, never letting me be
Has made my life pure misery
An impenetrable wall faces me now
I don’t know why and I don’t know how
I have yet to find a way through
Once again, I don’t know what to do
I’ve faced this wall all of my life
Always hurting, it cuts like a knife
Blocking my way to true happiness and love
No matter how hard I push and shove
I’m not a child, and you don’t understand
You’ve pushed me away
You’ll regret this day
Refusing to see what you’re doing to me
Never letting go, never letting me be
Has made my life pure misery
A storm rages through every particle of my being
Never letting up, never easy, never leaving
Telling me to run, to get away, to hide
From these foolish rules in which I’m forced to abide
Anything but this, anywhere but here
The only thing stopping me now is fear
Fighting for control over my raining tears
I haven’t felt this much pain in years
Fairness is a place long gone now
Happiness has taken its final bow
I’m not a child, and you don’t understand
You’ve pushed me away
You’ll regret this day
Refusing to see what you’re doing to me
Never letting go, never letting me be
Has made my life pure misery
I’m searching desperately for a way out
Afraid I’ll be trapped. Ready to scream and shout
I NEED to get out, I’m drowning in this pain
Stop the thunder, stop the wind, and please stop the rain
I cant last much longer, I’ve been here too long
No one ever lets me sing my own song
I’m not a child, and you don’t understand
You’ve pushed me away
You’ll regret this day
Refusing to see what you’re doing to me
Never letting go, never letting me be
Has made my life pure misery
I’m not a child, I see through the outside
I believed for a while
Because it made you smile
But that was my mistake, you see
Pretending for you, instead of being me
Has made my life pure misery
What you don’t realize, what you’ll never know
Is the reason I couldn’t stay, had to go
You took something very important away
My decision, my life, my choice, my way
My mistake, my regret, my everything
Its your belief that I need a ring
Don’t you get it? MINE, not yours to take
Your reasoning is false, faded, and fake
Maybe if you followed your own damn rules
I’d have some respect and stop calling you fools
But I’ve had it with your hypocritical, judgmental views
On anyone who’s values differ from you
Open your mind and your heart, for me
And for one day, see things as I see
Step away from yourselves, and you might notice
I’m justified in every reason I wrote this
She’s not a child, we now understand
We pushed her away
We regret that day
Seeing what we did to her was wrong
She let go, left, and moved on
Making our life pure misery
She’s not a child, she saw through the outside
We believed for a while
And it made us smile
But that was our mistake and it’s unbearably sad
That we’ve lost the control we never even had
Making our life pure misery
Making my life pure misery
Why can’t you open your eyes and see?
See my misery
