Constant waves of never ending grief
I do my best to live while gritting my teeth
Is this all there is?
A life wanting nothing more than successfulness
And I'm done
Trying to please all of those around me
It’s the bad that seems to always find me
Held down by a life that seems so rough
And I’m done
Pushing myself for the sake of others
Regardless if I'm their son, friend or lover
To them, I'll never be good enough
Constant disappointment
If they only knew how hard it is
To wake up and wish you didn’t
I don’t care what the future holds
I swear if this goes on for another year
I won’t be able to stop it
And I'm done
Trying to please all of those around me
It’s the bad that seems to always find me
Held down by a life that seems so rough
And I’m done
Pushing myself for the sake of others
Regardless if I'm their son, friend or lover
To them, I'll never be good enough
Constant disappointment
Always seeking affirmation
Void of hope
A waste of space
No need for hesitation
Get in the car
Pull the wheel
Let the world take reclamation
A failure in the eyes of everyone I know
I do my best to try but that’s all that’s expected of me
I won’t be the one to make you proud
But I swear I’ll do whatever it takes to be happy
Constant disappointment
And I'm done
Trying to please all of those around me
It’s the bad that seems to always find me
Held down by a life that seems so rough
And I’m done
Pushing myself for the sake of others
Regardless if I'm their son, friend or lover
To them, I'll never be good enough
Hope for a better life or pray for it to end
I’ve always wanted nothing more then to live a life content (I don’t wanna be a failure)
Escape those wasted years and make sure that this one counts
Cause the truth of it all is I’m finding it’s hard im breaking myself apart
