Afterward Depression of a Breakup

My hearts been blended again
you say 'im sorry'
but i cant even begin
im not ready to forgive

haunted by your face
drawn by the memories
forced away by your hate

we dont communicate
you want nothing to do with me
when once you said i meant everything

i loved everything about you
there was nothing i would change
when i was with you you were all i thought of
you were everything i ever wanted

but now,

i cant think of you, without breaking down
i cant hate you, without loving you
at night i cry, wishing to be with you
i hurt inside, knowing you are with someone else

you said you wouldnt know what to do without me
but ive been gone for awhile
and on your face is planted a smile

you said alot of things
i believed almost everything
but now i dont trust anything

from your lips came so much
but it was just lust
now all you do is disgust

so much was said
planted in my head
i think of you as i lie in my bed

how could i have been so stupid
how did you fool me so easily
all you did was deceive

i could call you a liar
and youd call me one right back
but who knows the lies from the facts

i wanted to hold on but nothing was there
i wanted to love someone who was already gone

how can you be with somone when theyve already disappeared
how can you linger in the past knowing that youd never last
how could he be with her when once he said i was all he wanted

we are forever faded
although im still jaded

i feel as though i cant go on
i feel alone and brought down

im so insecure of myself
i hate everything about me
the only time i was happy was when i was with you

you gave me confidence
you showed me reasons to live
but now im given in
since you are gone now i have none

endless cries drive me mad
im running out of reasons to be sad

finally ive lost all will to live
ive lost all my confidence and strength

the noose has been made
the rope hung in my dismay
now where does my future lay?

Blame

I am a wreck
i am messed up in the head
i am misled
i am a sorry excuse for a person

i am someone you see everyday
you pass me by
you look but never really see

i am not important to you
i am not someone you
would liek to know
i do not fit into your perfect little world

i am the outcast
i am thrown away
i am unloved

im the child you see everyday
the child you look at
but never really pay attention to

i am negelected
you have no time for me
i am a waste
i dont fit into your schedule

im the friend you see everyday
the person who is always there
but you dont take time to see
you never really care
you too worried about yourself

i am the best thing that could happen to you
although youll never know
for you have tossed me away
i didnt seem like i mattered
so you decided to get rid of me

only to find out
that youd miss me
and want me back

but i am gone
i am freed
no longer must i bleed
for all your mistakes
i was never to blame

you are the one who is not sane
the one who caused so much pain
the one who i blame

Wasting Away

wasting away
fading with the day
no matter what i say
i cant convince myself im ok

ive cut off from the habit
but how much longer will i make it

without cutting
without crying
without bleeding

my purpose is leaving
life has no meaning
i wake up screaming
nothing left to believe in

i disappear
the end is near
overcomed by fear
lies is all i hear

caught in my mind
depressing thoughts is all i find

everything inside my head is spinning
the want to hang on is thinning
i know im not winning

hes all im wanting
all im needing
yet hes always leaving

i feel like i have no one
everything seems gone
tormented and all alone

im dying in my darkness
the pain the shadows caress

wasting away
fading with the day
no matter what i say
i cant convince myselk im ok

Red Rose

red rose lying on the water
red rose withering away
just like the day
you tossed me aside
and as the petals start to die
so do i

so i keep my eyes open
not allwoing tears to fall
i hold back the pain im feeling
i cant let myself crash
atleast not
not infront of you

but look at you
look harder into your eyes
go deeper down inside
tell me what you want me to know
tell me so i can stop the thoughts in my head
tell me so i can let everything die
so everything can be dead as you and me
well as dead as you claim it to be

oh red rose lying on the water
red rose withering away
just like the day
you tossed me aside
and as the petals start to die
so do i

and this time i know
i know its the last time
the last time i could ever call you mine

well you knew
yeah you knew it from the start
and still you reeled in my heart
just to
just to tear it all apart
but i guess
well i guess its all my fault

red rose lying on the water
red rose withering away
just like my heart

The Blood, the Pain, the Harm

she paints her feelings on her skin
in her head a story lies within
when shes ready she'll share
but right now she's still unaware

the slices across her arm
the blood, the pain, the harm
a habit shes been perfecting
her problems shes been neglecting

the actions and decisions
the right amount of precision
in the words she spoke
as his heart slowly broke

the pain, the torture, the ache
your heart you opened, only for it to break
your trust you gave, only to be taken advantage by
you believed it all, but all was a lie

thoughts and memories
rewind and start again
they leave you wondering
...is this the end?

the slices across her arm
the blood, the pain, the harm
a habit shes been perfecting
her problems shes been neglecting

the truth, it bends it folds, betrayal has been told
im down on my knees, im drowning in tears
sceaming please, please dont leave me like this
you turned away, now ive seen it all
faster and faster i begin to fall

my name ill never hear you call
our existence has finally deceased
one slice and your memory has been erased
no more hopeless dreams left to chase

i thought this through
and im better off without you
i thought this through
and im so much better without you

the slices across her arm
the blood, the pain, the harm

Blood Running Down

He punches the mirror
and watches as it shatters
pieces lay allover the floor scattered
he thinks of her as he heads for the door

cuz all the anger
it builds up inside
how he feels
he can no longer hide
as he watches
the blood running down
he just wants her to know
that he cant take it anymore

her reflection stares back
her hands ready to attack
her leg shaved and smooth
she takes the razor and begins hacking away
she thinks of him as the memory plays

cuz all the anger
it builds up inside
how she feels
she can no longer hide
as she watches
the blood running down
she just wants him to know
that she cant take it anymore

he watches as she turns and walks away
he stares as she slowly fades
the words she whispered rewind in his head
how could their relationship be dead
he punches the locker as his eyes turn red

cuz all the anger
it builds up inside
how he feels
he can no longer hide
as he watches
the blood running down
he just wants her to know
that he cant take it anymore

i remember when you loved me
and i was all you wanted
i remember how you left me
cuz i wasnt all you needed
i still love you, yet you hate me
but nothing could set me free
still tortured by your memory

cuz all this anger
it builds up inside
how i feel i can no longer hide
as i watch
the blood running down
i just want you to know
ooh i want you to know

that i cant take it
yeah i cant take it
i cant take it anymore!!!

Silent Screams

my heart i have removed
i am sick of being confused
each second of every day
i am tortured by every word
you have ever said

the worst day of my life
keeps rewinding in my head

its too much, more than i can take [ i cant take it]
my patience is running thin [ yeah i cant take it]
any longer and im going to break [well i cant take it]

you cant hear my screams
[all you hear is what you want to hear]
over broken promises and shattered dreams
[but now i have to make it clear]
so listen as i scream these words to you

whats the point in having emotions
when all you feel is pain [im hurting inside]]
and theres no smile left to gain [wheres my smile]

yeah i learned never to get high [never]
because youll always bring me down [bring me down]
well youll always bring me down [well youll always]
yeah and you cant deny it [cant deny it]
its like a bad habit [and you know it]

you cant hear my screams
[all you hear is what you want to hear]
over broken promises and shattered dreams
[but now i have to make it clear]
so listen as i scream these words to you

whats the point in having emotions [the worst day of my life]
when all you feel is pain [keeps rewinding in my head]
and theres no smile left to gain, no smile [the worst day of my life]
well theres no smile, theres no smile [keeps rewinding in my head]

everyday i bled for you [im still bleeding]
while you turned and neglected my screams [im still screaming]
i sat and wished, wished [im still wishing]
yeah im still wishing, [everyday i bled for you]
im still wishing, [everyday i bled for you]
well im still wishing, [everyday i bled for you]
.....still wishing to die

Love Is Only a Word

Look at the boy
the one with the cuts and red eyes
wishing things were how they use to be
memories are all he has
he holds on tight
trying to avoid reality

he use to have the girl
the girl he loved
she was everything
made him smile
opened up his heart
until that one day he'll never forget

he came back
to what he thought was his
but she had found someone new
she looked at him and let him go
at that moment he fell to his knees
his whole world crumbled before him

but he still holds on
praying everynight "maybe shell come back"
blaming himself for eveything
trying to hide all the suffering
he keeps his headphones on
his only escape

everyday someone asks him about the cuts
he shrugs finding some excuse
never saying whats really on his mind
when all he needs is her

his days are filled with her face
he sees her, but she turns away
he wants her, to touch her
but she only wants him to go away

He wishes she would come back
She Wishes they never met.

Never

green eyes
they lore you in
but do you truly understand
the frown behind the smile

i hide beihind a laugh or smile
something to make you turn away
i cannot let you see
the pain i keep underneath

inside i am dieing
but to you i am fine
my heart continues to break
even though youll never know

ill never tell you
everything that kills me everyday
i could never let you in
for ill never mean enough
for you to comprehend

youll nod your head
but you never even heard
a single word i ever said

i never meant all the things
you swore i meant to you
you filled my head with lies
but i will not cry
for that is what you want
i will not let you
break me

but the tears will come
i will not hold back
but ill never let you see
that you have broken me
youll never gain my pride

id rather die
then shed tears over you
im missing you
but youll never know
i still love you
but ill never show
my feelings again
never

Too Late

Once you were mine
but i sent you away
it was too late
when i realized
you were everything i wanted

how i loved you
but you dont want me back
remembering the one i use to love
now knowing that has faded
i gave up the best thing
i could have called my own

i use to be what you wanted
but i pushed you away
i tossed aside
the only person i loved

looking into your eyes
i feel so weak
i need to hold on
to keep from falling

its hard to accept
your happy without me
but if its what you want
its for the best

but ill smile for you
if you can smile at me
ill still be there
even if your with someone else

my heart will stop beating
but i will go on
the tears will soon die
as your love for me

someday ill be fine
but right now
im falling apart
all i want
is to be with you

but it was too late
when i realized
you were everything i wanted
