Pressed upon me, describing every flaw Anguish my words quickly supplied Kept inward, breaking me of the things That gave me a reason to strive Just when I think I can turn to myself for an answer I find my own dependence will only bring me failure I won't let myself be unsatisfied with who I am But there's so much about me that I can't accept There's just so much I wish I could change Pushed against me, more painful everyday An image I refuse to accept Held under, careless decisions of the past How long will I live with regret? Just when I think I can look to myself for dependence Nothing seems to set in, so I turn to you for guidance I won't let myself be unsatisfied with who I am But there's so much about me that I can't accept There's just so much I wish I could change Slipping through my fingers, the things I will always desire It was once in my grasp, but now it's something I can never have Now it's too far gone from my reach, just a bitter reminder of how much this hurts Everytime I get close, I let myself slip away From what's standing right in front of me
