The Way Things Used to Be

I can see it when you look at me
The love that fills your eyes
I don't ever want to hurt you
But my heart aches for a way out

Life no longer has a purpose
I cannot find a meaning
The only thing I live for
Is the metal on my side

I turn to you in my time of darkness
But you don't understand
I can see in your eyes that you want to
But I'm tired of being judged

They hold out a helping hand
To pull me back up on my feet
But they turn their heads away
Not wanting to look at me

Words no longer have a meaning
They're stolen back in times of need
They say that they'll be there for you
But then they turn their backs

When did my life end up like this
Why is life always so hard
How did my life become so jaded
Why cant things be the way they used to be
