Lifeless Sacrifice

I'm left not breathing.
You're gone and bleeding
I cannot find why we did this
or why I'm absent of any bliss

You're crawling for the door.
I'm lying lifeless on the floor.
I forgot how to cry
I miss being able to die

We cannot hide the past
we know the future can never last
I will not hide anymore
You won't bleed like before

So I will die, and you will live
My life, for you I will give
I miss not dying, but I miss you more
I lie down lifeless, while you walk out the door
