Memory Box

Which one is yours

In a sky full of stars

We all need a place to aim wishes

When life gets hard

And lately it seems like I've been dealt

Everything but the right cards

So sometimes all I can do is cry.  

Some people cry and don't know why

But I've got enough reasons for us all.

Don't know how I dropped the ball again.

Don't know why I never win

It's just a losing game.

And every day I'm not the same

For the parts of me that slip away.

Tomorrow I'll be less than I am today,

Which mean things will only get harder.

Can you blame me if I play the martyr

When I've given all of myself and more?

And what the hell is this life for,

If the gaps in the misery are so few?

What's a girl like me to do,

To cure herself of all this sadness?

Please help before I'm driven to madness

Couldn't stand to be locked away.

Like a bird in a cage, stuck here to stay

Where I just don't belong.

Can't remember the words to my heart song

Can't remember who I used to be.

Pull out a box full of memories

Scraps of a life lived just partially

Empty space brings wistful dreams

Of happier days to come. 

Some battles lost, but surely be won

As long as I've got air in my lungs,

I'll know I"m still alive.

Right now just have to hold on and survive.
