Painfully,
I cried through the hopeless tears.

Sadly,
I began to realize the fears.

I walked the path where my fate leads

Unaware,
My heart slowly bleeds.

Unsurely,
I walked the path where my fate leads.

I tried to numb the pain

Hopelessly,
I tried to numb the pain.

Helpless,
These heartaches make me feel insane.
