Minutes Before Midnight

How are you supposed to learn from your mistakes

When they seem to be the only thing that you make

Take one step, everything seems to go wrong

Can't turn back, what you did is done

Let their words bring you down,

You're a worthless piece of scum

You think it would be better if you just faded away

Just a few minutes before midnight on your dying day



How are you supposed to wake up

When you have nothing to live for

You keep searching for a reason to breathe again

but there are no signs to be seen

The answer may be more simple than you think

but you are so hurt and scared you let your heart sink

You think it would be better if you just faded away

Just a few minutes before midnight on your dying day



How are you supposed to believe a single word from anyone

When they have fed you lies till you have become numb

They ripped your heart, buried the trust

Let it sit there to rot and to rust

If only you would really search for what you are looking for

You might see that it is right out your front door

but you think it would be better if you just faded away

Just a few minutes before midnight on your dying day
