Maybe I should just give up and go
all this stuff is just too much to swallow
but the truth is
basketball is my one and only bliss
my only escape for the day
but now its just a replay
of all the other time if have messed up
I cant help the fact my emotions are staring to blowup
I cant take letting my team down
it hurts me to let them see me having a breakdown

Listening to the coach telling me how good I can be
but I don’t know how to let her see
all the doubt I have inside
how to tell her I think my intensity has died
my love for the game
has turned into a pain
my heart aches
every time I make a mistake

I don’t know if I can take anymore
my tears are starting to become a downpour
so I think its time to say goodbye
just give in to all the lies
give up my basketball dreams
and stop letting down the team.

I enjoyed this one.  I've never been an athlete, so the way I let down a team was being chosen for it.     But I can see the hurt and even though sports are not in me, I can feel the emotion you write about here.
