My Blood

lyrics by Scott Anger

my life, it sure ain't as simple as it should be
i'm working hard to do my best
to stay alive and try to keep myself happy
while all my dreams are laid to rest

what am i supposed to do
with my worst nightmares coming true

i used to have a love, but i let it slip away
can't get it back, it's far behind
i'm losing precious blood, day by hopeless day
i think i'm gonna lose my mind

chorus:
'cause i can't deal with all this pain
that's got a hold on me
someone, please try to explain
why some things just aren't meant to be

feelings of love always seem so real
they're far too strong to hide
but i've been hurt, and now i've built a cage of steel
with my heart locked deep inside

and i can't set it free
i'm afraid of what she'll do to me

so here i sit, all alone
got no companion, got no friend
somebody help me please, i can't stand it on my own
my blood is gone, this is the end

(chorus)
what am i supposed to do
with my worst nightmares coming true?
oh, god, i wish i knew
what it is that gets you through

(back)
