Piece of Me

I wanna give but sometimes it
feels like I have nothing left to give
I wanna speak but sometimes
I have nothing good to say
so I just sit quietly to myself
watching you succeed and I'm 'left
wondering How can I change?

I wanna see all the wrong things in
this world be made into right
but someday's it seems impossible
and it just makes me wanna scream
what have I done, that is so wrong
when will my heart be unafraid to love

When will I find peace in a world so loud
How can I finally make a difference
When will the time come for me to shine
I've watched the years go by, and now
that selfish piece of me want's to die

Sometimes I wonder why I'm still alive
what have I done that merits such a right
my dreams have come and gone yet they
haunt me when I can't sleep at night
so much fighting left to do, with so little
left to prove

When will I find peace in a world so loud
How can I finally make a difference
When will the time come for me to shine
I've watched the years go by and now
that selfish piece of me want's to die

and fade away into oblivion
never to return again
no power left to hurt you my friend
after all it's all up to you in the end

So when will you find peace in a world so loud
How can you make a difference
When will you make the time, the time to shine
don't sit and watch the years go by
and don't hold it all inside cause it will 
make you wanna die, it will make you wanna die

and fade away into oblivion 
never to return again
no pain left to hurt you my friend
after all its all up to you

So when will time come for you to shine
don't sit and watch the years go by
don't hold it all inside

Yes it's only up to you

It's all up to you in the end
