I sit on side of the road
The place I call home
With a sign and a can
Not wanting to be alone
They stare and they smile
Thinking I'm just a freak
And Deep down in side
I'm begging don't laugh at me
You Don't understand
Just what I've been through
It's not a joke or a game
I'm not as lucky as you
I struggle day to day
Barely able to survive
Take one hard look
Right into my eyes
The loneliness, the pain
The tears and the shame
The best part is
I'm the only one to blame
I knew what I was doing
But I did it anyway
Now I look back in regret
As I sit here today
I threw my whole life away
With that one stupid move
Should have known better
Now I look like a fool
Maybe one day you'll see
How I'm suffering inside
Then I wont have to hide my face
Trying to preserve my pride
