Loss And Hardship

I've never lost someone before

And I can't shake this sorrow

I guess life's a revolving door

Born today, die tomorrow

 

But I guess that's how it's always been

Who am I to argue with tradition?

But I can't accept this fate

And I refuse to cooperate

 

Death is just so terrifying.

I can't shake this sense of futility

No matter what I do I'll end up dying

I refuse to go down willfully.

 

But I guess that's how I'll always be

Impossible to change this side of me

I will not fade away

I will live another day

 

I just wish that there was pain

Something I could understand

I feel like I'm in a hurricane

Or buried beneath the sand

 

I've never lost someone before.

I don't want to lose anyone again.

Please don't take any more.

I don't want to lose a second.
