Nothing to Gain

I wanted to believe
That support and friendship were real
But beliefs are nothing more than dreams
Never coming true

I wanted to have hope
That people would want to be around me
Only hope is just a wasted emotion
Time spent chasing rainbows

How do you have faith in yourself?
When no one else cares?
Can you feel good about yourself?
When the crowd leaves you alone

I wanted so little
I should have expected nothing
When your sights are low
It shouldn't be hard to be happy

I didn't ask for much
It wouldn't have taken a lot of time
Time just passes by
Added a few more unanswered questions

How do you keep continuing on?
When all opportunities turn to dust
What more is there to change?
Nothing to gain
