“Been there, Done that”


You feel pain you’ve never felt before in your life.
You get hit by a rock.  You get cut with a knife.
You get so lonely that you don’t know where you’re at.
I’ve felt worse than this.  I have been there and done that.

You fall in love with a girl that doesn’t like you.
She is cruel and breaks your heart.  Now your life is through.
The only thing you want is death, and that is that.
This has happened to me.  I’ve been there and done that.

All this good luck in your life gets lost out of space.
Well, my life wasn’t ever good in the first place.
You lose something small and you think life is over.
I have lost my pride in everything forever.

I’ve been broken hearted twice.  I’ve felt all the pain.
My life has been going down without any gain.
Tears of pain cover the floor from the place I sat.
I’ve felt much more because I’ve been there and done that.

You complain that your life is completely over.
Suffer like I do, then your life might be over.
Twice so far, I have tried to put life to and end.
I’m not afraid to admit that the pain won’t end.

I have been to hell and back.  I’ve done everything.
There’s nothing bad that I haven’t felt, not a thing.
Some people cry to others, and ask for their help.
I suffer through all of it without any help.

Your family doesn’t care if you die or not.
Your friends deceive you.  You need to be helped alot.
You can’t wait until you’re in your grave laid down flat.
I know life’s hard because I’ve been there and done that.

I have been studying love and life for four years.
I have suffered through it all and cried many tears.
I takes years to be at the position I’m at.
After four years, you might have been there and done that.

There are a million people on the planet Earth
talking hard nonsense because that is all they’re worth.
I have felt all of that.  I’ve been there and done that.
Learn to suffer pain without help, and that is that.
