Carrie Everett - To Get By

Sometimes I laugh
Sometimes I cry
But it's not enough to get by
I need to feel
But not like I could kill
I wanna scream
And get my anger out
But, the trees are so stout
They dont budge when hit
Here comes the first aid kit
I hate myself
There's a demin on my left
An angel on my right
And everyday they fight
I dunno who to be
My heart has no key
It got stolen
By someone I thought golden
Not full of deciet
The thought of love can't be beat
I tried and failed
Through my heart is a rusty nail
I tried EVERYTHING
Why is life so mean?
1 step foreward,
3 steps back
Self-esteem is what I lack
And I don't know what to do
So, for now
I will laugh
I will cry
And I will try to get by...
