I'm Not Made of Wood

How much do I have to take?
To prove my worth in life?
How much can one person survive?
I can only get up so many times.
After a while I'll stay down.
Down where you kicked me.
For the very last time.

Does it please you to see me bleed?
What was it that I DID?
I can't carry any more hurt.
I can't live this way forever.
I tried to see the sunshine
Through the clouds.
But you stood over me again
Blocking out the light.

I wanted to believe.
I wanted to trust in a future that was worth the pain.
But I have no future
Because I can't take any more
I really can't bare any more.
I'm not made of wood.
