Tearing Apart

I stay up all night
Just so you can talk to me
I sacrifice my sleep
Just to have the chance to be in your dreams

Tick tock
Time's running out on the clock
Waiting for you
Waiting for what I've been missing
It's morning time
You aren't there

The words you've spoken to me
Beautiful words
They revisit me
Beautiful words
Beautiful memories

I lay and wonder if I did something wrong
Where has it all gone
Tear drops spill into my pillow
Barely breathing
Make up pouring off my face
All I need is your embrace

The shadows of the room surround 
To you, I'm bound
I'm ripping wide open
It's more apparent now
I don't want to do anything now but cry
Shed a tear cause the biggest fear seems like reality
I doubt you want me anymore
I cry about it on the floor
Even though I'm unsure

A black hole is burning inside me
Growing wider
Sucking my life into it
I'm not who I use to be
Use to be so strong, use to know how to carry on
But I've been weaker for a while
You had made me feel strong again
Now it's tearing apart
Please tell me you're not playing games with my heart

Reverse
Back to the way things use to be
Back to the pain that once killed me
Back to knowing I'm alone
Reverse
Just like falling back down the spiral stairs
Downward spiral
It's all so vile

Tearing apart
Please tell me you're not playing games with my heart
I'm torn
The rose I held had a hidden thorn
