Making bad decisions / afraid to fail or ruin
Each decision different / but a familiar tune
Not wanting to let people down / failure is the root
at the expense of my own joy / I cannot remain mute
I didn’t want to hurt another soul
All of my feelings pushed down creating a massive hole
Every time it came to love / i stood at the fork in the road
It matters not the the path I go
no risk on the safe road except that of joy
Be honest with yourself / and all will be fine
Then all people might see you shine
My body is a vessel built for holding pain
Beguiling with regrets again and again
I remain haunted and cannot wash away the stain
