“The Long Hard Road”
Baby it was a long and tough
Road out of hell
The road was hard and rough
There’s no way to count how many times I fell
Flat on my face in despair
I always though to myself
“How can people not care?”
After a while I began to think
Some people are destined to be great
Maybe I was destined to sink?
The feeling of loneliness
Was always hidden inside of me
I appeared fine on the outside
But their was so much for everyone to see
Never given a chance to shine
I always felt second best
I always use to think in my head
“Cheer up, some day it will be fine”
That day never came
Theirs only so much your mind can take
When you’re constantly defamed
“Sorry your not good enough”, they said
I use to try and hide how I felt
But those remarks were always lingering inside my head
I wish they know how it felt
To have no inner feelings
To know all you feel is dead
I always told myself
“Someday you will find someone”
“Someday you will be happy”
Time passed, I grew more anxious
“Maybe this is the year?”
At the beginning, I felt it wasn’t
“No, sorry you’re not my type”
It hurt so bad to know
That I would never live up the hype
I set for myself many years ago
My birthday passed so without a sound
Still lonely, Still on the outside
My feelings still felt gagged and bound
Christmas came and passed
“Maybe the new year will bring what I desire?”
I felt that maybe my time had finally come
A week or two passed
I finally got the courage
To go up to you and ask
“Would you like to hang out with me?”
Your reply shocked me to the core
Maybe you were the key?
To all I needed and more?
We hung out a few times
I felt like I had finally found
What I had been looking for all along
When you told me you felt the same way
Babe, I couldn’t find anything to say
I just knew, that I had finally found happiness
Some more time passed
And then came January 17th
I disregarded all my pain and asked
“Would you like to be my girlfriend?”
“Yes I would” was your reply
Baby you don’t know how that mad me feel
It felt like I was standing atop the sky
I asked myself constantly
“There’s no way this can be real!?”
A week passed, and then two
I felt so happy, being with you
All my inner pain began to go away
Who knew, that all those words you said
And all those things you did
Was what I needed to clear my head?
And make room for love, rather than pain?
February 9th started like any other
I got up, knowing my day would be fine
I would be able to see your beautiful face
I felt like one of the elect
How could I be bestowed with such grace?
You came over after school ended
And we lied next to each other
Like any other day
Some things happened
That I’ll never forget
The one thing about that night
That I’ll always remember is
“I Love You”
Babe, when I heard that
I knew I was going to be all right
You saved me from myself
The torture I caused myself
Was finally gone…
I am now on a different road
No longer do I follow
“The Long hard road out of hell”
No more, that road has been closed
I now follow one road
“The Road of happiness and love”
The road to paradise
Baby I’d like to take this time and say
Thank you for changing me that day
Thank you for setting me on a different course
I love you babe, I promise to never stray from this road
“The Long Hard Road out Of Hell” has been shut down
No longer will I have to face
That dark path again
I Love You Babe…
