Shutting gates... let me in 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
