Worse Than Dying

There are things that gnaw at a man,

worse than dying itself

sorry bout the condition im in

im too proud to ask for some help

you know id try to reach out to you now 

if i felt like you really cared

sometimes I feel shadows behind

i look but there aint nobody there

feels like a fate, worse, than dying

dedicated best years of my life

its time that i'll never get back

only those that walk beside

know the true darkness of man

I thank god i got out alright

but i feel like you left me for dead

good lord give me strength tonight

to keep those memories out of my head

feels like a fate, worse, than dying

Ive gave my life to you, but you werent here for me

I tried to walk away, but the ghosts wont leave me be

it seemed so simple for you, but i couldnt find the answer

at times i wonder aloud, how…why… me...

feels like a fate, worse, than dying
