Lamentation
Another song from the set made in middle school
------------------------------------------------------------------------
My life craves the soul
And I’m all alone
You stay—then off you go
And I can’t hold on
You will never know me
For what I am [oh no]
Can we forget?
Can this just end?
If we don’t believe
How can we mend?
Your face haunts my memory
And I can’t move on
Cuz here without you I feel…so numb
Left out in the cold
For you will never love me
Was I too much [to mend]?
But how can you see?
How can you know [what I meant to you]?
Could this be the end of the road
Left to sleep alone?
-Ooooooooh-
Can we forget?
Can this just end?
If we don’t believe—
Can I forget?
Will my life end?
If you don’t exist
Why do I pretend?
