Lyrics Downhearted - No Bragging Rights

Downhearted

You understand better than anyone
So how could you expect me to go on?
When there is nothing left for me
Just empty seeds and a shell of who I used to be
Downhearted and frustrated on most days
All hope I had is stripped away
So what would you have me do?
I’ve done everything
I already know what they’re gonna say
I see it in their face
«A moment of weakness… a selfish act…»
Proof no one really listens
I took matters into my own hands
…Please understand
Each painful breath feels like a kick in the chest
How could you expect me to go on like this?
Yet they’ll have the nerve to call me «selfish»
«A moment of weakness» a moment of weakness?
This could be the bravest thing I’ll ever do
You have to understand, you have to
If there’s a plan, I don’t see it
If you showed me love, I didn’t feel it
These words aren’t for them, they’re all too late
Please don’t deny me your gates…
So what would have me do?
Already know what they’re gonna say
I see it in their face
«A moment of weakness… a selfish act…»
Proof no one really listens
So I took matters into my own hands
…Please understand… please let me in
