Don’t be too hard on yourself
I can’t find it I lost it It went away I can’t find it I lost it She went away I can’t find it I lust it She never stayed We can’t find it We lost it We both strayed Hopes & fears Through all the years I Don’t wanna stay I try to call for help But to my dismay No one comes No one helps They all stay away But they’ll come to my funeral They’ll come and cry & say “I wish he’d called me when he needed someone to say:-“ “Don’t be too hard on yourself, you’ve done so much you’ve come such a very long way” You know we love you please don’t leave us don’t you dare go away They’ll cry & moan & on the phone they’ll discuss how “he was too hard on himself anyway” They’ll console themselves there was nothing they could do anyway When all I wanted was some empathy & a friend to say :- You know we love you please don’t stay away When all I wanted through my desperate days was one single person to say ;- “I love you please don’t go away” But still I lie here all alone Forlorn forgotten in Dismay No one to talk to No one to comfort me & say I love you I love you I love you Please please please please stay I’m desperate I’m forgotten until my funeral day I can’t call you I can’t hear your voice my children please come to your father & hold me & tell me everything is ok I made mistakes I did wrong I wish I had listened to my father when he said You’ll lose everyone no one will want to know you if you keep going through life this way Oh spirit oh good lord oh universe help me I pray Find me a home Find me a purpose & perhaps I will want to stay I miss my life my garden my dogs Oh lord oh higher power oh universe I don’t want to stay Give me a reason give me a sign Give me a purpose You’ve always come to me but not this day This time I call for you but you don’t come What is there left to say He was a good man, honest working man He did his best they’d say But look now he was a trier he just couldn’t play The game of life oh what a strife he didn’t half pay
