Crying
I keep crying
And now I can't breathe
I close my eyes
And your all that I see
What are you doing to me?
My lungs burn with my breath
My heart throbs with my plight
But I just can't seem
To make it all right.
I feel trapped in this cage
Of steel and stone
Hundreds of people
And I'm all alone
Years of pain and hatred
That I've never shone
None of this helps me
And what have you done?
This silence
Is deafening
Nothing will ever seem
Right in my world
Why didn't you just leave me there?
In my dark lonely lair
You took all that time
And I thought for once
Someone would climb
Up that desolate mountain of sorrow
And make me forget
About all but tomorrow
I put a little faith
And tried so hard
But you were never here to stay
Cause I might have loved you
But you never felt that way
Why couldn't you leave me on my own?
You took all my problems
And made them your own
But when it got too much to handle
And my faith in you started to dwindle
You shoved it all back
And broke me again
A million pieces
Will never be whole again.
Why couldn't you just not care?
Why didn't you just leave me there?
I was alone
I was happy alone
I was lonely, its true
But I didn't need you.
And you broke me through
When I was of no use to you
You left me alone again
Crying
In solitude
When I really needed you
So why?
Why not bother at all?
I wanted to be myself
All alone
Where no one would ever betray me
To late for that
Those walls I carefully built
Crumbled to dust around you
And now it's raining
And the sky cries for me too.
I keep lying
Inside I am dying
I keep crying
Till I have no tears to shed
