"Whatever they say I am, I swear that's what I'm not"

I'm not sick but diagnosed
Always haunted by my ghosts
Is today the day I try?

All these issues on my mind
Existing's not refined
Too much pain in just one lifetime

We're walking talking messes
Running from disaster
Don't have any answers
Give us some hope

We're walking talking messes
Running from disaster
Don't have any answers
No, I don't, no

All these things that I should do
Got my life uprooted
Get told that it's good for me
And I can't refute it
I'm so tired of living
So tired of resisting
And I don't wanna try anymore

Mornings are the devil's hour
I won't even take a shower
Do I wanna be left... alone?

There's no way that this is living
I think anyone would give in
I wanna give up, they say don't

We're walking talking messes
Running from disaster
Don't have any answers
Give us some hope

We're walking talking messes
Running from disaster
Don't have any answers
No, I don't, no

All these things that I should do
Got my life uprooted
Told me it was good for me
And I can't refute it
I'm so tired of living
So tired of resisting
And I don't wanna try anymore

We're walking talking messes
Running from disaster
Don't have any answers
No, I don't, no

All these things that I should do
Got my life uprooted
Told 'em it was good for me
And I can't refute it
I'm so tired of living
So tired of resisting
And I don't wanna try anymore

All these things to to do
Got my life uprooted
I'm so tired of living
So tired of resisting
And I don't wanna try anymore

Whatever they say I am, I swear that's what I'm not

Save your heart for someone new
Things get tough when all is blue
Tried your best but it takes two
I'm not deserving of you

Save your heart, bury it deep
Hope that lets you get some sleep
Wishing, love, that you knew
To save your heart for someone new

I told her save your heart when she was only sixteen
Told her she should follow her little girl dreams
Told her she shouldn't spend her life looking backwards
I don't know, love,  I've got no answers

Try
All I see is her eyes
Waterfalls pouring
While mine are dry

Save your heart for someone new
Things get tough when all is blue
Tried your best but it takes two
I'm not deserving of you

Save your heart, bury it deep
Hope that lets you get some sleep
Wishing, love, that you knew
To save your heart for someone new

22 a little bit older
Keeps on keeping on marching like a soldier
Still fighting for this love but I told her
I’m a bad luck charm to her four leaf clover

Try
All I see is her eyes
Waterfalls pouring
While mine are dry

So you keep on keeping strong
And through it all your heart is long gone
And we still fight  and I still say your wrong
But you're saying this is right where you belong

Just think back to all the yesterdays
How many times have I told you to walk away
It's so easy just to go
5000 reasons why you shouldn't stay

Said save your heart before it's too late
I opened the door, now walk through the gates
In the end you and me equals pain
Save your heart, for all that is great

Save Your Heart (Emulating the Script)

Game of Bands round 172: Fire

Vocals: WritingForEros
Lyrics: @Aliceline

A lost wildfire
With scattered embers
Burned too bright
Wish I remembered

Got wounds that will scar
Got through it charred
Now down to ash

This fury and frenzy and fire and rage
This heat, all consuming, I'm kept in a cage
My issues ignited, my faults are to blame
Why can't I sweat out what's giving me pain?
This fire (a flame), you can't put out
Can't quiet (can't tame) these blazing doubts
Smoke in my lungs, I can't breathe out
This fever that's taking me down
It's taking me down

Put me down
I know it's coming
It's catching up
I can't stop running

Got wounds that will scar
Got through it charred
Now down to ash

This fire has burned
I think it's my turn
To defeat me from inside my mind

Oooh

Giving in to induced rage is all I've done so far
Under this glaring light that has left me blind
Shone upon me, focused on me - heat's just so unkind
This ignition's just repetition of the flames up my mind.
I'm burned out and I'm tired, time to take me off this stake.
I'm being killed inside out, stuck inside this blaze.
Sit back and watch me burn I'm not sure I'll ever learn
Can't fight this fever that's brewing
How could I bring myself to so much ruin?

This fury and frenzy and fire and rage
This heat, all consuming, I'm kept in a cage
My issues ignited, my faults are to blame
Why can't I sweat out what's giving me pain?
This fire (a flame), you can't put out
Can't quiet (can't tame) these blazing doubts
Smoke in my lungs, I can't breathe out
This fever that's taking me down
It's taking me down

Goodbye Winter

Lyrics 
[Verse 1]
I tell you that I refuse
And I black out from the impact
You make it so you can't lose
When I'm choked up and can't fight back
The scars you give me are revealing
The truth that I can't take these beatings
And you're always still lying
while I'm trying and I'm rattled
There's so much more than kneecaps 
and torn shoulders in this battle
It must be nice that I keep needing
I let you in but I'm receding

It's gone on way too long now
And it's fucked up, but I'm stalling
I feel it every day now
There's no leaving when you're calling
It feels out of my hands now
And I don't know how to change it
And I don't know how to hate it, no

[Chorus]
Give me the blame
It's all one with the abuse, my life's receding 
Mournful on my knees for you
You take till I give in, you got me bleeding till I'm blue
So misleading like you do

[Verse 2]
I tell you turns the lights on
You should see just who you're hurting
I close my eyes to pretend
what you're doing's not unnerving
You're trying hard and that's what matters
It's been a war and I'm so battered

You claim this shit's so easy
But I don't know how it happened
All that's left's been worn out, bruises run down
Oh I'm damaged
It feels out of my hands now
And I don't know how to change it
And I don't know how to hate it, no

[Chorus]
Give me the blame
It's all one with the abuse, my life's receding 
Mournful on my knees for you
You take till I give in, you got me bleeding till I'm blue
So misleading 

[Verse 3]
If your gifts of love are my injuries
And you don't feel nothing when you look at me
Tell me why you're making me pay
It doesn't feel right but I'll be okay
If you want to keep taking my breath away
Let me see your eyes before I fade away
If love's got no limits like you say
It's okay to show me pain
It's okay to show me
