LYRIC FOR SALE

By David Cox

How many times could it possibly take
To be able to put on your bravest face
And finally make it be able to stay
Even when you’re feeling this way

Screaming aloud that nothing is wrong
Doesn’t make it true when everything is gone
Once it was so easy to just be strong
But now the music changed, and it’s a different song

Everyone is near when they need me
But then they disappear into sudden obscurity
Gone at the slightest hint of something I may need
How fair or right could that possibly be

I’ve always somehow had to fend for my own
No one around to give me a hand or a loan
Always thought it would get easier being grown
But in silent anguish I am still all alone

For some reason I feel the need to try
To fight the tears falling from my eyes
And keep telling myself the same white lie
I’m always ok, and I’ll be damned if I’ll cry

Maybe I should just give up and fade away
Why I don’t, I can’t really say
It’s not like anyone really needs me to stay
So just disappear, who knows, I just may

Truly I believe no one would really care
Until They need something and I’m not there
No sorrow or loss would there be I swear
Of me being gone, I believe they wouldn’t be aware
