When considerate
And beaten under
When humble

Tired and restless
I continue to regress
Failing in the flesh
When trying to do my best

My lonely heart floats
Like a broken boat
On the river of no care
Drifting off to nowhere

    I live in this sea of loneliness
    Driving away all i see

    You Always made me smile,

    You always made me laugh,

    You still make me happy,
