Downhearted Lyrics

Shutting gates...let me in...

You understand better than anyone,
So how could you expect me to go on?
When there is nothing left for me,
Just empty seeds and a shell of who I used to be,
Downhearted and frustrated on most days,
All hope I had is stripped away,

So what would you have me do?
I've done everything,
I already know what they're gonna say,
I see it in their face.

“A moment of weakness…a selfish act…”
Proof no one really listens,
I took matters into my own hands,
…Please understand.

Each painful breath feels like a kick in the chest,
How could you expect me to go on like this?
Yet they'll have the nerve to call me “selfish”,
“A moment of weakness” a moment of weakness?
This could be the bravest thing I'll ever do,
You have to understand, you have to,
If there's a plan, I don't see it,
If you showed me love, I didn't feel it,
These words aren't for them, they're all too late,
Please don't deny me your gates…

So what would have me do?
Already know what they're gonna say,
I see it in their face.

“A moment of weakness…a selfish act…”
Proof no one really listens,
So I took matters into my own hands,
…Please understand…please let me in.
