Unstable
Damage is done
Blames all your own
I lived for you only
not that you cared
not that you knew
Like a smile from an angel
Looking right through me
What I’d give for your notice
just a catch of your eye
Hours turn to days, as minutes tick by
Still you’re looking, looking right through
All that I am is meant just for you
How is it you cannot see me
I’m right here, right in front of you
It’s killing me
But its killing you too
Damage is done
Blames all your own
I lived for you only
not that you cared
not that you knew
Hallowed out, I refuse to die alone
Even the emptiness is gone
Left on the edge
just waiting for a push
Running out of patience
Breath comes heavy
Still there is nothing
Again you look right though me
Why can’t you see
It’s killing me
But it’s killing you too
Damage is done
Blames all your own
I lived for you only
Not that you cared
Not that you knew
Can’t go on like this no longer
Just existing in shadow
Don’t walk through me again
Don’t, don’t you dare
Bun halo, burn
I’m taking you down
All we could have been
You just wouldn’t see
All the love for you, living in me
Damage is done
Blames all your own
I lived for you only
Not that you cared
Not that you knew
