This Sad Day

I wish I knew just what was wrong.
Being sacrificed because I don't belong
If only I had something to hold on to.

How many times have I sat and cried
How many times have I said goodbye
How many times have I wanted to die
on this sad day I cry.

I wish only to be happy in this life
and not to be punished, for this isn't right.
If only I had someone to hold on to.

How many times have I been alone
How many times have I sat by the phone
How many times have I been hit by the same stone.
On this sad day I'm gone.
