You could be happy and I won't know
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go

And all the things that I wished I had not said
Are played in loops 'till it's madness in my head

Is it too late to remind you how we were
But not our last days of silence, screaming, blur

Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should have stopped you from walking out the door

You could be happy, I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far

Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true

Do the things that you always wanted to
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do

More than anything I want to see you, girl
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world
 

Run run as fast as you can

They’re coming to get you and you can barely stand

Your legs are like jello and you’re starting to sweat

But you keep on pushing with every last breath

You run to a building and then shut the door

But some climb through the window on the second floor

You feel surrounded and you just start to bawl

How can they leave you with nothing at all

They took all your money

And took all your bread

Left you with a big scar on your head

All just because you needed to eat

And you were tired of begging and being mocked on the street

So when opportunity knocked,

You ran for the door

But someone tripped you and knocked you down on the floor

The guards in the ally yelled “Stop crook!”

As they chased you with knives and people shot you dirty looks

They will do society a favor by taking her apart

Because people like that are doomed from the start

Just another beggar, scum of the earth

If they get rid of her she won’t ever give birth

To that child she trying to feed desperately in her womb

If they take her out, two street rats are doomed

And society will go on and continue each day

That little boy will never come out to play

But instead of giving in and just giving up

She but those guards all in a rut

For in this small hut she had set up some traps

With marbles and tar and feathers and tacks

They slipped on the marbles and pricked themselves hard

Then rolled to the side and got covered in tar

Down came the feathers right on command

And three oversized chickens were finally damned

Damned to the humiliation they put others through

And everyone stared and laughed cause they knew

If you try to oppress for way to long

Eventually things will all end up wrong

And the plan you had for a perfect life

Will come back and cut you like a knife

So be kind to those who need your help

Or else one day you might not be able to help yourself

My parents and I don't get along very well.  My mom adopted me when I was a little kid, and treats me like shit in comparison to her kids.  She can yell for 3 straight hours  about the reasons why I am not allowed to eat her food and why I have to get my own.  Then there Is my dad, while not as crazy, is a bit controlling, he has set out a mold for me to follow as I grow up, of what he expects out of me.  I have to get the degree he wants me to get, I have to get the job he tells me to, and I have to live in this hell hole with my mother until I have enough to buy a house instead of renting.  The problem is there is nothing I can do about it, because I know they mean well.  My mom is just crazy and thinks she is doing the right thing, and my dad just wants me to live a good life... oh well that's life for now, til I move out of this place, Maybe we'll be able to tolerate each other more when we are farther apart

We could sit and talk about this all night long..
And wonder why we didn't last..
Yes, they might be the best days we will ever know..
But we'll have to leave them in the past...

So try not to think about What might have been..
Cause that was then
and we have taken different roads..
We can't go back again,
there's no use giving in..
And there's no way to know What might have been...
