“Low-Life”


Someone normal can get friends and can get girlfriends.
But a ‘Low-Life’ has no friends and has no girlfriends.
It is not my choice that I am this sad loser.
Everything that I do makes my life sink lower.

Why can’t I be normal like everybody else?
Why can’t I get a girlfriend like everyone else?
Everyone I know had at least one chance or two.
No girl has ever asked me out or wanted to.

I deserve at least a chance with my one true love.
But, I am cursed for life from the one up above.
He who is blocked from love suffers tremendous pain,
therefore he’ll lose his will to live and go insane.

Love at first sight is death. Fall in love and you die.
Everything about true faith in love is a lie.
There is no such thing about happiness in love.
There is no such thing that I have ever learned of.

Other ‘Low-Lives’ just like me need love to go on.
There are cruel females out there that aren’t looked upon.
We’re desperate to get some help for the great love chase.
But we’ll never get love. We’ll never fit in place.

We sacrafise everything for the ones we love.
We get nothing for the time we waste to get love.
We sink lower everyday of our shameful life.
We have no reason to live in this pointless life.

Broken hearts can never heal without owning love.
One dove can’t live without love from another dove.
The search for love is difficult and hard to find.
To get love, it takes more than knowledge in your mind.

Only if a ‘Low-Life’ could reach his destiny.
The best should be as equal as ‘Low-Lives’ like me.
Every female tells me to go and get a life.
But I can’t help it because I am a ‘Low-Life’.
