"to live, and not to breathe, is to die in tragedy."


Yes I’ll admit

That maybe I’m just a bit

Of a jaded young child

I’ve spent my life livin just a bit too wild

But I’ve learned my lesson, hardened my heart

Love is a roller coaster and I’m getting out the cart


I wanna live for me, not for them
But where, u may ask did this belief stem?

it's from the liars, from the cheaters

To the cold hearted lady beaters
From the players and the losers

To those stupid drug abusers
the neglectors and annoying over protectors


It doesn’t seem fair to put a girl through all that

Yet it happens all the time, as a
matter of fact

So yes, I’ll admit. I won’t mess around with it.

It’s a dog-eat-dog world, and I’m living in it.

It’s every girl for herself in this day and age


So yes, I am jaded.

Can’t put me in no cage, don’t have the power to put me in no rage, im done giving up my heart to wage.


I am jaded and that’s a fact.

But I see nothing wrong with that.

Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all.
