A Happier Past

All the years… when was it good?
When did I ever smile
All the cheers… all the love
Yet, it’s still not worth while
All I wish is to fill the void in me
All I want is a second chance
Why was I such a coward? Why was I a fool?
I guess I won’t be earning that dance
I still hold the thoughts within
All my broken chances and sins
Why can’t I find the sanity I once embraced
I must fight the tears on my face
I have faced my pain
I’ve been ridiculed for all that I do
Oh, it’s such a shame
I still can’t fix myself even when I’m with you
I have faked every smile
For all my hopes and dreams have been torn by my strife
Through all the traveled miles
I don’t see my purpose for my life
All I pray, wish, and hope for
Is to go back to a happier past
All my flaws… they studied close
Just to reveal my shame
Some can’t forget my worst mistakes
And now I’m stuck with this bad name
All I plead is for those to forget my flaws
All I ask for is a new start
Why was I so cheap? Why was I a creep?
I can’t fix my broken heart
You may say I can fight it all
But, I still face a fall
Love can’t save me anymore
Why can’t things be like they were before?
I have faced my pain
I’ve been ridiculed for all that I do
Oh, it’s such a shame
I still can’t fix myself even when I’m with you
I have faked every smile
For all my hopes and dreams have been torn by my strife
Through all the traveled miles
I don’t see my purpose for my life
All I pray, wish, and hope for
Is to go back to a happier past
(Bridge)
I remember the smile I shared
And when they truly cared
But, she broke me and now I can’t fight
And the psychotic memories remain inside
Long ago, when I was normal
I shared my fragile heart
I should’ve took my leap to love happily
But, instead my monster tore me apart
I have faced my pain
I’ve been ridiculed for all that I do
Oh, it’s such a shame
I still can’t fix myself even when I’m with you
I have faked every smile
For all my hopes and dreams have been torn by my strife
Through all the traveled miles
I don’t see my purpose for my life
All I pray, wish, and hope for
Is to go back to a happier past
(Outro)
Thank you all for sticking by my side
But, for now this is my goodbye
