Hard Week

It's been a hard week Close to a heartbreak Bit of a losing streak A handful of mistakes Caught in a maelstrom Life is just way too big Feeling my backbone Crack like a dry old twig It's been a hard year Just like the last, oh dear Why am I still here How do I still care It's been a disgrace A parade of judgement days Caught in a rat race Afraid of my own face It's been a hard life It's never felt quite right Cuts like a dull knife Now bleeding just feels trite The memories I've savoured The few times I did do good Have all lost their flavour They've done more than memories should It's been a hard week Close to a heartbreak Bit of a losing streak A handful of mistakes Caught in a maelstrom Life is just way too big Feeling my backbone Crack like a dry old twig
