Crying

I keep crying And now I can't breathe I close my eyes And your all that I see What are you doing to me? My lungs burn with my breath My heart throbs with my plight But I just can't seem To make it all right. I feel trapped in this cage Of steel and stone Hundreds of people And I'm all alone Years of pain and hatred That I've never shone None of this helps me And what have you done? This silence Is deafening Nothing will ever seem Right in my world Why didn't you just leave me there? In my dark lonely lair You took all that time And I thought for once Someone would climb Up that desolate mountain of sorrow And make me forget About all but tomorrow I put a little faith And tried so hard But you were never here to stay Cause I might have loved you But you never felt that way Why couldn't you leave me on my own? You took all my problems And made them your own But when it got too much to handle And my faith in you started to dwindle You shoved it all back And broke me again A million pieces Will never be whole again. Why couldn't you just not care? Why didn't you just leave me there? I was alone I was happy alone I was lonely, its true But I didn't need you. And you broke me through When I was of no use to you You left me alone again Crying In solitude When I really needed you So why? Why not bother at all? I wanted to be myself All alone Where no one would ever betray me To late for that Those walls I carefully built Crumbled to dust around you And now it's raining And the sky cries for me too. I keep lying Inside I am dying I keep crying Till I have no tears to shed
