Andrew Olson - Falling Apart

my life was once great
things were easy for me and going good
i had a lot to live for
i once had a lot of friends
i once was a great athlete
i once was an A student

but now things have changed
they have changed and are out of control
they have all left me

my grades are gone
as hard as i try its not the same
my sports hit quicksand
they slowed to a stop until they were suffocated
they were un recoverable
what do i have to live for now?

oh how the once great have fallen
i cant stop these thoughts that run through my mind
thoughts of suicide are getting to me
soo much was expected of me
and i let them down

its too far to recover now its over
now nobody can make a difference
looking back at my life there was so much i wanted to change
so much i wanted to say, but never was able to
now the pain is gone for good
now i am at rest with things left unsaid
