It's a simple story

The pain and grief it's all been hidden beneath
I used to be a small town boy with bigger dreams
I have been betrayed i have been lost since i was born
I have been pretty dead beneath since i lost my dad
It often makes me think what i lost when he was gone
I often think of myself to be an orphan without his presence
The way people look at me i wonder how it could be
I have learned i have grown i have been something unknown
I can smile and hide everything in that
I can look right in your eye and learn what you missed to speak
I learned my ways of believes and dis beliefs
I learned my way of growing into someone i once i used to be
I have been tired standing in front of all and always been told guilty
I am tired been strong beyond my age what i should be
With every day passing by the grief takes a part of me
With every moment i live here by someone close to me cuts me
My dreams are pretty simple to be a man who i always want to be
All i been searching is some love and a person who could hold to me
I have helped people around but i had non when i had tough days of me
I have all alone when things were hard and felt dead end to me
I did survive every challenge that was through for me
I did survive those moments of pride when i was lost in it
Every time when i felt alone i just looked at sky and waved at it high
I just have a simple thing to say with all of this
It's hope that kept me awake and running for what i was meant to be
I was lost and do face days with things harder to feel
But at the end what matters is what did you leave behind for a memory.
