Tired of Being Nice
December 20, 2014
I'm tired of being nice
Of lighting the lights
Just so
Of always caring what you think
Of wanting to make you proud
Listening to the sound
Of your disappointment
In my ears
All of these years
Just keep passing
And I wonder
What we do this for...
The happiness the smiles the
Goodbye riles?
I wonder why we
Keep on trying
When I am sure to fail
Leaving a trail of fights behind me
Trail of torches and more love,
Lost.
I just want to succeed
I just want you to leave me be.
