I miss you

you said we were close like tightbond two 
I never would be losing you
 but now I'm left only thinking of you

I used to see you in the stars 
but now all I see are scars 
why'd you go so far

you left me in the summer 
never shared a mummer
now I'm getting number 

you said you'd be there whenever 
we'd be together forever 
now your absence is my suppressor

maybe you didn't care 
but to me you were rare 
now I'm stuck in despair

 you said you would stay
 I put my heart on a tray
 now I'm starting to fray

when you said to stay strong 
I didn't know you'd be gone
why did everything have to go wrong 

you may not be dead 
but you still filled me with Dread 
I feel so misled

you didn't say you were leaving
I can't stop the feeling
you knew I'd start reeling

I can't forget you 
no matter what I do
but you left like the dew

if only you knew
how much I miss you 
what would you do

How

How do you live when you don't know who you are? 
like your trapped by yourself, confined in a broken soul. 
No meaning, no goal, mourning something you never had. 
losing before you had a chance to start. 
How do you care when no one cared for you? 
When even you couldn't choose yourself? 
How do you continue when your empty, when you want to fade away? 
How can you ask someone to care when you failed yourself first?
