Here's a song I wrote about 5 years ago called Jaded. It's one of my favourite songs I've written. I've performed this a few times and will hopefully record it soon.
Enjoy ;)
I once was here but now I've gone
Far away to find myself again
So many lies and so much deceit
Not just in the home but also on the streets
But now I've gone
I don't need it anymore
I once had a life but now it's faded
Listening to everyone's thoughts so jaded.
I'm leaving this I know this is not what I want
I don't wanna spend my life being someone that I'm not
It's not right and I refuse to do so
I'm leaving you, I'm leaving this
Get out of my way before you get dismissed.
I once was here but now I've gone
I gave you all a chance but you all did me wrong
Whenever I feel pain it's when I'm with you
I know it's time to move on and that's what I'm going to do.
I once was here but now I've gone
I gave you all a chance but you all did me wrong
I've done nothing bad to you but none of you care
You only want what's good for you so you step everywhere.
You step on my life, you step on my joy
Try to cover it up like you had no choice
But I know you did, I'm not stupid
I know how it works that's why I stopped you when I did.
I've been good.
I've been nicer than nice trying to help everybody out
But it's so so hard, it's like they want me but they still push me away
So I tried the best I could. (but was it enough).
I once was here but now I've gone
Far away to find myself again
So many lies and so much deceit
Not just in the home but also on the streets
But now I've gone
I don't need it anymore
I once had a life but now it's faded
Listening to everyone's thoughts so jaded......
