Living But Not Living

Awaken I layed at night
Steering at the ceiling
Wishing you were here
Wishing you were never gone

My heart pounced
And tears rolled down my chicks
I was crying like a kid

The hurt, pain and anger I carried inside
Just got the better of me
Just took my life away

Your unpresence ruined my life
Your unpresence makes me unworthy
Unwanted, I need you
I need to hear your voice next to me
I need to feel your touch, warmth

Knowing you will never come back
Knowing I will never see your face
Makes me wonder
Is this the life to be wasted?
Is this the life to be lived on the past?

This is the life to be lived once
But awaken I laid at night
