I'm lost
I can't find the right road,
I cant find the right one

I slip every now and then,
But to their eyes it's all to dangerous
I'm not perfect they all tell me,
But they expect so much from me...
As did my brothers,
My mother,
My friends,
And everyone else

It's a headache and I slip just once,
My guilt, nothing compare to the disappointment in their eyes;
Sometimes we just need to cry
Nothing wrong with being human...
I just slipped

I made a mistake, so please forgive me,
but I slipped,
I bled,
I cried,
I'm sorry
