Better Left Forgotten

I can hear through tired ears
Footfalls of a forgotten soul
Broken, beaten, full of fear;
A loss of all your goals

Laughter echoes from a mouth
A sad and lonely lie
Fell and fell; down and out
When you thought you were so high

Shattered hearts, tall tales
And your dejected sighs
I always managed to fail
So now I fail to try

Voices slurred by sorrow
Faces frozen in a frown
Where's your tomorrow?
Can you leave this awful town?

Avoiding the truth
Won't make it disappear
When you get your proof
I'll no longer be here
