For years I have been broken
I try to be myself but I get shot down
People's harsh words have corrupted my heart and soul
And I've lost who I truly am
My feelings have abandoned me
My passion has disappeared
And I've put myself in complete isolation
I want to change my ways but I am scared
I have forgotten how to communicate with others
And now everything is starting to catch up with me
I am so guarded and my walls are built up so high
My friendships eventually turn stale
And I spend most of my time in my room alone
Dreaming of a life outside of my own
Slowly I'm driving myself mad
And I can't help it
I'm not afraid of being alone
But I'm just tired of being alone and afraid
I see people my age with huge groups of friends
Making memories
Having the time of their lives
I want that but
I'm so scared to let people in
Because people don't care
They get what they need
Use it against you
And turn into thin air
