What Could Have Been
A man takes his seat by himself he stares at his plate life has taken a bite I want to cry or just cry out wanting to speak but I don't even try so we go on our way to wind down the days what is it that makes life this way? I will leave you alone as I leave alone what could have been had I not kept to my own? there is a woman I see every week on the street I think of the life we could have if I'd speak we don't say a word lovers who will never meet I have to live out my life in my sleep walking around in a cage every day what is it that makes life this way? I'm just a simple man who's lost his way hoping that I'll find real life one day shrinking through life never making a sound who will hear us when we fall to the ground? a shile at last as my head hits the floor I don't have to live like this anymore
