Happiness Has Left Me
I grew up overshadowed by anger and depression
Where the people around me spoke lies
No one could ever understand me
And could never see my hurt
Scenes of wild thoughts running through my head
Oh how I wished it were all dreams
Got myself together and built a family
Life seemed to be looking up
But again came the anger and depression
Down the long path of hopelessness ,
How I wished people could understand me
Seems happiness has left me,
have no place to scream
Almost no one seeing my hurt ,
No one hardly is listening
The sun shines for others when my night is dark
As holes form in my heart ,
but no damage was ever visible
Seems happiness has left me,
got no place to scream
Almost no one seeing my hurt ,
No one hardly listening
