lost
in a world that swallowed me
broken
by people I always thought loved me
here
in a place i’ve never been
there
where I want to be but just can’t reach


do you see how I try
hear me in the night when the tears won’t stop
and my heart it dies

i wish you would care enough to let it go
you say you care
but your love has never showed

i can’t show you what’s inside
bruised broken bloody
everything i tried to hide
it’s all locked away now
in a lifeless person it resides

hurt
by twisted words and broken promises
confused
by choices decisions you’re making me decide
burdened
by the weight of love that will never be
displaced
because you’ve made me a stranger to my own family

i ask how much lower can I be
you laugh in my face and say if this is low
then you just wait
you can make it worse for me

i’m confounded
by what my head and my heart are saying
they won’t come together
they won’t change their ways
so which do I believe
which one goes and which stays?

i’m ready to give up this life
what’s the point
when it’s filled with grief and strife
I can’t move on and I can’t go back
so there’s only really one choice for me
to live without anyone anything
to give up
give it all
everything

you lost me
you broke me
you hurt me

you burdened me
you confused me
you forgot me

you’ve driven a world between us

hope your happy now
