Some days I feel that 'life' just knocks me down, br Those harsh words said, your sharpness and your frown, br Remembering these things, what is the answer - how br Can I shake off those hurting actions now, br With each one forever chipping at my soul, br Sending me deep into this consuming hole br That I have carved into my life, when you br Departed for some other avenue. br br I face this question with each day I greet, br How can I stay so upright on my feet, br When with a heavy heart, I try to face br The realisation that I must replace br You with another, Oh, how hard a task br For such as I, who hides behind a mask br With shattered thoughts I try hard to conceal. br Like an actor playing parts that are not real.
