Once upon a time there lived a boy who was always sad to live

Kept his smiles to himself, but talking to himself became addictive

He was shy and scared inside, exploring the area that was new

Looked around hestistantly, a boy's heart has been broken in two

Never felt truly loved, because he imagines things to easily to take

Grapped a chance whenever he could, so oppurtunities are mistake

He sat up late in the dead of the night, looking at the moon once again

Talking to the sky, and apparantly the window to his room was a friend

Looking outside, and was always to afraid to look within his soul

Buried evidence of pain in a black heart, dark like a piece of charcoal

Laying in bed, felt like it was empty to live, but full to even breathe

Haunting thoughts in his head as he lay, to dream was to feel at ease

Knowing nightmares were safe than to stay awake than to let it cave in

So he stared at the stars and made many wishes every night of the pain

And he was neglected like the plague when it came love in his way

The boy was ashame to have a heartbroken so words was hard to say

Suddenly, one day his thoughts was doomed to roam the world all alone

Next to the pain, thinking that its incredible to never have love to own

Never come his way, a drop of constant tears of what was hard to believe

When he was younger, his sad innocent heart was tainted and decieved

He thinks he'll never be loved, his appearance is so far being attractive

Wish he was handsome, but he's average, so hats became an alternative

He thinks he's ugly and that he's afraid of what other thinks of him

Never dealing with reality, so his imaginary world becomes a problem

Staring at the mirror, hoping the image would channge but he cried

Instead he saw something he can't stand, he looks disgusting outside

He thinks his inside is more precious, but its a hard part to understand

Crowded house of other kids, youngest felt alone when its out of hand

Choas of unloved area, he saw things that was to realistic to deal with

Words of what became to hurt others, it hurts to feel something like this

Screams in the night, remember the monster was still around in his dreams

Knocking his heart down, loser's confident, and building low self-esteem

Then one day he felt something in his heart the feeling close to heaven

Love was so true, felt so pure, a wonderful feeling, it was so pleasant

To see his smile, to see the joy, you could always sense a warm embrace

He was at his best time to live, love almost erased the monster's face

It almost made his story seem so happy, and his past was almost forgot

Made his days and night worth living, but soon it was all for naught

So he was trapped in his own jungle, a mind that was ruin of temple

The lost gold treasure, lost marbles, his mind was going to be mental

Because finally, his heart was broken once again which he feared inside

The boy sat and kept asking God why's, no answers but hard he cried

So inside he died, soul committed suicide, and so hard he tried

To tied the lies beside his pride, but confide in pain, the heart fried

Burnt up to crisp, nothing left to feel but only time will comfort him

Was never about being loved, it was always about the pain, his own problem
