Living For Love

The ink in my pen is running out Because, of all the pages I write with you in thought My life feels meaningless, I can’t think, what is it about I used to be happy, now I must deal with all the pain you brought The idea of you coming into my life is what my friends fought But I didn’t listen, so it’s a good lesson that you taught Till this day, I don’t know how in your trap, I was caught. Now I see a stranger in the mirror While all the memories flash in my head And when I think about the future I wonder when I will be dead My life was never really mine I lived it for others, life’s game I played I didn’t really read the rules I wanted to make my own way The withdrawal symptoms are killing me But not fast enough I was hoping the drugs would be the death of me Because, trying to hurt myself I find tough To be honest, I wanted the whole world to see That it is idiotic to live if its love you seek.
