The song of the broken

Tired of the judgement
fucked up
passing out on the pavement
young love
just don't speak
i'm breaking
these bones are weak
risks keep taking
cocaine goes up easy
boose goes right down
stomachache don't get queezy
nosebleed don't freak out
somebody save me
nobody touch me
yeah i'm dying young
at least i had fun
everybody calling me dumb
to your words i am numb
so dont even try
i tried drugs
i tried stopping
that didn't work
when i'm on them i feel love
when i'm not  i'm hurt
all i want is freedom
but narcotics caught me in a cage
i'm nothing special
but the world is my stage
i'm famous
on the obituary page
I'm too far gone
it hurt all along
and i got tired of holding on
i'm not telling you to give up
but i replaced my last breath
with a drink from  a styrofoam cup
and i guess my body had enough
just like my mind
no room for more drugs
i should of known
there was infinite room for love
the problem is i didn't try hard enough
