Once Upon A Fool

Once upon a time…

I was a fool who thought he’d find

Purpose in the pain

⸻

I don’t wanna be here

I don’t wanna be near this earth

What did I do to deserve

Getting my feelings hurt?

I don’t wanna be here

When you’re not by my side

Every second feels cursed

I swear I’m losing my mind

⸻

Once upon a time, I thought love would save me

Thought if I gave you my heart, you’d take me

I put you first, still ended up last

Tried to move forward, stuck in the past

Can you tell me how to move on?

Can you show me how to be strong?

Every second feels way too long

You were the only place I belonged

I healed your scars, ignored my own

Called it love, now I’m alone

I fell too hard, you never fell

Now I’m stuck inside this hell

⸻

Don’t run and hide from the truth you decide

Everything fades, even the light

⸻

I don’t wanna be here

I don’t wanna be near this earth

What did I do to deserve

Getting my feelings hurt?

I don’t wanna be here

When you’re not by my side

Every second feels cursed

I swear I’m losing my mind

⸻

Sipping just to quiet the noise

Trying to drown all the thoughts in my voice

I shouldn’t finish what’s left in the glass

But the night keeps pulling me back

I hit pause just to feel okay

But time don’t heal when it freezes this way

I wish you were never mine

Wish I could say I’m fine

⸻

Once upon a time, I was a fool

Thought I’d find meaning breaking rules

Truth is pain don’t make you wise

You just survive, or you decide

⸻

I don’t wanna be here

But I’m still breathing through the hurt

If this world cuts deep

I’ll bleed slow till it works

Once upon a time, I was lost

Now I’m learning what it cost

I don’t wanna be here…

But I’m still here
