Every Day

Waking up every day,
Wishing for another way

No way to know,
And nowhere to go

Running from the fear
That they might be near

The people that run my life,
Cause more than just a little strife

I've seen it all happen before,
They always say "a little more"

Friends all turned on one another
Turned on sister and on brother

I never thought it would happen to me
I think that and scream "just let me be!"

All of this pain inside
There's no way that I can hide

Sometimes I try to ask them why
Why must no one know I lied?

Maybe it's revenge on me
Maybe it's out of jealousy

As all these thoughts fly through my mind,
Inside my heart, I feel I'm blind

What can I do to break this curse?
Nothing here could be much worse

Round and round the circle of time
Racing towards the finish line

There's nothing I can do
So now I turn to you

Go tell someone that you know,
Maybe a friend, or even foe

Tell them all of this strife
Caused by all these people in my life
