Hope Is Hard To Keep

Hope is so hard to keep,
when every day of the week is filled with misery
These memories you put in my head
spread like a disease in my mind
All the time I’ve wasted
living in the past
Time and time again,
I told myself it wouldn’t last
Just more promises I couldn’t keep to myself
You were so hypnotizing
That I just couldn’t see and couldn’t believe,
that everything was fallacy
Every second that passes
is just another thought I regret
more anger I can’t forget
more of the past that won’t last
There’s so much I can’t stand
as I’m looking at my bruised hand
and feel this rage I’ve kept trapped inside for so long
finally taking its toll on me
With my cracked knuckles I know that I can still feel
With this pain that’s living inside I know that I am still real
and you’re just stealing all of my time
You’re just stealing what’s rightfully mine
