Give Me A Break

40 6 6
                                    

I swear one day
I will by faith
I will have enough strength
To call it a day

I swear, in a year
I will quit, I'll still be here
My hands away from there
My eyes would be clear

No more addictions
I'd finally be clean

Afraid to say
Not today
Can't you see
I'm too weak

This
Is the only escape
Where I forget the past
And the regrets, at last
While, only for a while
At least it helps me remember how to smile

No, my parents aren't proud
But ain't nobody aware of what I've been through
Depressed with my life
Drugs are the only things
That keep me alive
So, mom and dad
Sorry for the life I have had
But depression isn't just a phase
When I kill myself
You tell me it's a phase

I swear there'd come a day
I'd be happy, I'd be praised
But for today
Give me a break...
It's just...
It makes me like the taste
And forget the past mistakes

I swear there'd come a time
When happiness would be mine
Forgive me for now
For the sins I'm about to commit
At least I didn't commit suicide
And today won't be my last night
That is, if I don't overdose
But it's ok , I won't

Just waiting for a time
When I'd finally be proud
And announce myself clean

That'd be the day
I'd smile and play

But for now
I wish I could somehow
Assure you I'd change
Just keep hoping
I don't overdose
I'll be taking therapies
Please don't call in my foes

Goodbye I say
And for me
By God, please pray

I swear one day
I'd be happy and play
Just like those little kids on the ground
I'd be happy and maybe profound
Not the depressed addict I am now
I'd survive
And find happiness somehow

I swear one day
I'd live by faith
Have enough strength
To call it a day
