Nothing in Return

Sacrifice and compromise
Bridges that I’m yet to find on my own
But they’re not too far from home
I’ve got shoes bigger than my own to fill
And most days I feel like I never will
But I’m still hungry
I tried but I failed because every time I close my eyes
I saw myself in retrospective
I saw myself through tired eyes
I gave up everything for this and got back nothing in return
Now everything we ever missed was everything we never learnt
I took back everything
And tried to see
The way we looked at everything so carelessly
Is it obvious I’m nervous with this one?
I tried but I failed because every time I close my eyes
I saw myself in retrospective
I saw myself through tired eyes
I gave up everything for this and got back nothing in return
Now everything we ever missed was everything we never learnt
I worry
But I’m still hungry
I tried but I failed because every time I close my eyes
I saw myself in retrospective
I saw myself through tired eyes
I gave up everything for this and got back nothing in return
Now everything we ever missed was everything we never learnt
I worry
But I’m still hungry
