Life Doesn’t Have to Be This Way
Steven Bowman 1997 (Voorhees Township, NJ)
What if there was another way?
What if there wasn't any peeps?
Could've heard what she'll say.
Oh how much I'd like for keeps.
Life doesn't have to be this way,
As you know she's mostly worst.
I could've been looking for a say,
Just how breakups, we do it hurts.
Just how she'd be the person liked,
Could've been another way I hope.
Love hurts, I'd never be misjudged,
My dear person, just forget the rope.
Moving on with the suicidal persons,
Just how I've moved on with myself.
Love at first sight how it's all visions,
I just can't forgive, I just need herself.
