When?
When did caring about people become such a burden?
When did it hurt to love?
I used to be the hopeless romantic
My nose stuck in a book
And my head in the clouds
I wanted more than dreams
Now it hurts to breath
My life is causing me all this pain
When did waking up become a struggle?
When did going to school become hard?
When did living start killing me?
I used to love
And live
And love to live
I used to dream
And adventure
And smile
Friends were fun
And family was forever
Life was good
And I was happy
So when did things change?
When did I begin to burden myself?
When does the pain go away?
When will my questions be answered?
