Nothing To Lose
  The world wants me to be,’
  A girl who smiles kindly,
  But what’s the world ever done for me?
  It’s only brought me tragedy.
  If I were a better person inside,
  Would the world be at my side,
  Or would I have died?
  Or would all this pain subside?
  I cried myself to sleep last night,
  Nightmares destroying my head,
  Someone show me the light,
  Before I wind up dead.
  I lost myself to this pain.
  I can’t do it anymore!
  I’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain,
  So I’m letting myself fall through the floor.
  As I sink into sin,
  I lose myself to this world of strife.
  I never lose but I never win,
  As I play this game called life
  I stand here now in pain,
  Walking a path none should choose.
  Turns out I had nothing gain,
  And everything to lose.
  So I beg you,
  Never give up on a dream.
  Never believe what isn’t true.
  Remember that things aren’t what they seem.
For you can lose family too.
