Turn Around

Submitted by SRPiNk33 on April 9, 2008 - 07:58.

I've become what I don't want to be.
I miss the old me.
I can remember when everything was okay.
I'd give anything to go back to those days.

Want back my smile,
Haven't seen it in a while.
Feeling so broken and down.
Can't we turn this around?

Give me back what I'm sure I've lost.
Whatever it takes, I'll pay the cost.
I want things to to be the same.
Don't worry, I'll take all the blame.

Want back my smile,
Haven't seen it in a while.
Feeling so broken and down.
Can't we turn this around?

I want to feel like I belong.
Why did everything have to go so wrong?
I need things back to the way they were
I'm so sick of feeling this hurt.

Want back my smile,
Haven't seen it in while.
Feeling so broken and down.
Can't we turn this around?

Please...
