Lyrics
Beat: VTZ - Breathe No More
[Verse 1]
I can't believe you're gone, I wish you would've stayed/1
It's been so long but seems like the other day/2
You were in my arms, keeping each other safe/3
Now we barely talk and I feel so far away/4
Detached from myself, a shell without emotion/5
It's bad for my health cuz this hell is so potent/6
And I feel so worthless, I try not to show it/7
Everything was picture perfect now it seems so out of focus/8
I couldn't believe it, my mind went blank/9
You'd think I'd be seething but I was full of pain/10
And it was only teething, the surface about to break/11
Now I'll keep on bleeding til I've emptied out my tank/12
The line drawn taut pulled so tight that it thins/13
Not releasing thoughts, let it lie beneath the skin/14
Exacerbating this, but it's seaping from within/15
When lacerations of the heart begin leaking through my pen/16
[Verse 2]
A whirlwind of hurt, a monsoon full of tears/1
You were my first that's why it's lasted through the years/2
Never forgotten, your voice ringing in my ears/3
Seems I'll never be pardoned from the warden of my fears/4
I kind of like it, I welcome the imprisonment/5
I never denied the fact I wished you didn't finish it/6
I know you're not the same, lean more toward indiferrent/7
But it won't deflect my aim or alter my positionin'/8
I am a tired prize, with no start for praise/9
The fire in your eyes scorches my heart to this day/10
Still swimming in your cinders, my world turns to flames/11
I've burned all of your pictures but still I see your face/12
Friends told me it wouldn't last, my cares would fall prey/13
They said it's all the past and soon it would all fade/14
A persistent loop of memory still resumes to play/15
Better thoughts of yesterday before you left and went away/16
[Verse 3]
You didn't mean for this, I know it's wrong I'm torn/1
Seems I got the grip, even wrote a song before/2
But the weight begins to tip, just a little more/3
For me to forget about my loss and let it out the door/4
I know it sounds bad, it seems harsh in a way/5
But I need thoughts of you to pass and I try harder every day/6
Not to feel so smashed, build back some decay/7
From when I was burned to ash and my conscience went astray/8
Everything has to end, first loves burn the most/9
I can't even pretend that I'm not tugging at the ropes/10
Trying to get back in, even though there is no hope/11
But the memories still live to torment me as a ghost/12
Picked the rose and got a bramble, it was worth the time/13
Even through the shambles and all the tears I cried/14
If I could replay the gamble, I wouldn't change a line/15
Still no pain has held a candle to when I had to say goodbye/16
