My Resolve

They say that things get worse before they get better,
But I don't know how long I can hold strong,
And fake this smile.


I'll tell you the saddest story,
Of a life in peril,
Where no one seems to understand,
The pain I am fighting through,
Just trying to make it by,
The path I've chosen,
Is laid with tears,
Silent nights and forgetful days,
Somehow I have to keep pressing on.


To think things could come to this,
Everything comes at once,
Testing my faith,
My resolve,
It seems to the only thing left to keep me happy,
Are the drugs I need,
Because anymore it seems I have nothing left.


I'll tell you the saddest story,
Of a life in peril,
Where no one seems to understand,
The pain I am fighting through,
Just trying to make it by,
The path I've chosen,
Is laid with tears,
Silent nights and forgetful days,
Somehow I have to keep pressing on.

I don't know where I'm heading,
Day by day I'm livin',
Because when I think about the future,
I'm miserable.
