PERSISTENT

I PERSIST TO BE LONELY

I PERSIST TO BE ALONE

ALTHOUGH MY HEART ACHES FOR ATTENTION

ATTENTION FROM ANYONE

A HOMEY

LOVER

OR FRIEND

OR EVEN THAT STRANGER ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET

I WONDER IF THEY'D JUST LISTEN TO ME

BUT I PERSIST TO BE ALONE

CAUSE THAT STRANGER IS COLD

CAUSE I'M JUST A STRANGER TO THEM

BLOCKING THEM FROM THEIR GOAL

A WASTE OF TIME IS WHAT THEY SEE

WHEN THEY LOOK AT ME

THEY'RE STRIVING TO BE THE BEST THAT THEY CAN BE

WHILE I'M CRYING CAUSE I COULDN'T TAKE THE HEAT

I THOUGHT THEY'D HELP ME

BUT I WAS WRONG

SO I GET MYSELF TOGETHER

AND I PERSIST TO BE LONELY

CAUSE AFTER A CERTAIN AGE IT'S

EVERY MAN OR WOMAN FOR THEMSELF

ALTHOUGH NO ONE CAN DO IT ALONE

IN THIS WORLD YOU BETTER DO IT

OR DIE TRYING

SO I PERSIST TO BE ALONE

CAUSE SEEMS LIKE SUCCESS

I CAN ONLY ACHIEVE BY MYSELF

BUT IT'S SO HARD

CAUSE I'M WEAK

AND

EMOTIONAL

ALWAYS LOOKING FOR SOMEONE NEW TO SAY

YOU CAN DO IT

YOU'RE GOOD

DON'T GIVE UP

REALLY

I CRAVE GUIDANCE

BUT I REALIZE

ONE DAY I'LL REALLY BE ALONE

NO ONE TO GUIDE ME

I'LL FLY HIGH LIKE A BIRD

AND JUST PRAY THAT I'LL LIVE UP TO THE STANDARDS OF THE MEAN OLD BOSS

BUT FOR NOW I PERSIST TO BE ALONE

ALTHOUGH I DON'T WANT TO BE ALONE

I WANT SOMEONE THAT WILL

LOVE ME

KISS ME

HUG ME

CARESS ME

AND JUST STRAIGHT UP FREAK ME

LOL BUT FOR REAL

I WANT SOMEONE THAT WILL ASSURE ME

EVERYTHING IS OKAY....

AND TAKE ME AWAY FROM THE ISSUES I HAVE TO FACE

EVEN IF IT'S JUST FOR A MOMENT OUT OF THE CRAZY

DAY

WEEK

OR MONTH

BUT SINCE I DON'T HAVE THAT

I PERSIST TO BE LONELY

CAUSE ALTHOUGH I'M NOT ALONE

SOMETIMES LONELY IS JUST HOW I FEEL

SO I PERSIST TO BE LONELY

HOPING THAT LONELY WILL HELP ME BECOME STRONGER

HELP ME TO CONQUER MY GOALS

HELP ME TO ONE DAY SAY

I DID IT AND I DID IT ALONE

BUT STILL WITH LOTS OF HELP

SEE MY SELF CONSCIOUS WON'T LET LONELINESS TAKE OVER

BUT IN THIS CRUEL WORLD

I STILL PERSIST TO BE ALONE.....
