Something to Keep
I would take you back
To when I used to laugh
But that's not the point of the story
I've been trying to grasp
Onto anything I've got left
But everything seems to evade me

No one told me
It was gonna be this hard
To pick up all the pieces
After falling apart
No one told me
To leave something to keep
For when the ground falls out from under my feet

I'd tell another story
But I've got nothing left
After all my mistakes
I'm left completely bereft
Of any type of tale
That could keep your attention
So can you please tell me
Why you forgot to mention
Everyone that I know
Looks at me like I'm a ghost
Like I've been through hell
And should have never come out
My face is caved in and pale
And I don't
Think I should end up alone
Like I've been cheated out of having a home
