Analysis of Dead inside

Carrie Zis 1981 (Narrogin)



Dead inside, no longer bold
Don’t know who I am lost out in the cold

Don’t need anyone but afraid of being alone
Aching for someone to talk to, but lacking the ability to make it so

I used to be confident and full of life
The party girl with no cares or strife

Not even recognising myself in the mirror
How could you destroy such a carefree feeler

Done and tormented, cracks are showing
Is there hope to mend from being this broken

I say I’ve survived before, but not sure I can do it anymore

Trying to find myself again, but do I want to be the same or just take the blamel

No one even has asked my side, just listen to your bullshit lies

Fuck them for not taking the time,  to get to the truth hear out both sides

Feeling like nothing and ashamed of myself for falling in love to early with no regards for myself

I care to much to deeply and to soon
But It’s time to stop and become grown

Foolish girl, not many have a heart like yours, but I won’t let it change the best quality In my stores

Torn apart again I must be fucked
Or my judge of character has no luck

Alone in thought I can’t try anymore, ill just become quiet and boring I’m nothing anymore
