The time that I've wasted is my biggest regret
Spent in these places I will never forget
Just sitting and thinking the things I have done
The crying the laughing the hurt the fun
Now its just me and my hard driven guilt
Behind a wall of emptiness I allowed to be built
I'm trapped in my body just wanting to run
Back to my youth with its laughter and fun
But the chase is over and theres no place to hide
Everything is gone including my pride
With reality suddenly right in my face
I'm scared,and stuck in this place
Now memories of the past flash through my head
And the pain is obvious by the tears that I shed
I ask of myself why,and where I went wrong
I guess I was weak when I should have been strong
Living for the drugs and the wings I had grown
My feelings were lost afraid to be shown
I look at my past... its so easy to see
The fear I had " Afraid to be me ".
