Wonder Why

Can you understand
pain searing into my skin.
i cannot stand the pain,
but i will follow through.
i think of your face
but do you ever think of me?
do i ever grace the space that
contains your memories?

do you wonder why?
these tears they never dry.
my eyes are burning red and
it feels like i'm on fire.
how can you say that we
were never meant to be?
your heart throws us away
you cease to believe
in me.

Blood flows from my skin
i try but i'll just fall
i cannot speak at all
my heart begins to fail.
i'm missing everything
condesending arguments.
i cannot feel my face
but i shall follow
through.

and do you wonder why?
these tears they never dry
my eyes are burning red
it feels like i'm on fire.
how can you say that
we were never meant to be?
your heart throws us away
it no longer believes in me.

well let our hearts fade
all our mistakes
god the suffering
how much more could we both take?
throw it away
and bury it at sea
it died so long ago
it's time we let it be.
we've broken all the chains that
binded you to me!
