It's a sad twist of
Fate. I wanted to save you
But we met too late
You were far too ****** up when we got together I was just blind and easily misled

It is harder than I anticipated
Going through each dark day alone
Will you please silence the suffering
Are you not tired of being alone?

Never have encountered such an ache
Cuts deep into every nerve
I want to say that its all your fault
But I think pain is what I deserve

Nobody is the villain, the "bad" guy
You gave an apology
I was naive for thinking
You wanted to stay with me

Only thing I regret
Not noticing something had changed
Wish I could go back in time
Have the situation rearranged

What's done is done and can't be erased
Like everything I wish I could change in the past
The best I can do is keep breathing
And try to make memories last

Caught a few tears before they hit the ground
I sit and let them fall from my eyes
Soon face will be red, lids puffy like clouds
They remain that way after each drop dries.

I am attached to the habits that hurt me
Falling in love, sight of blood, and drugs to name a few
Darkness regardless of outside forces constantly stalks
Got caught in its mystery, it knocked my life askew.

I do not think it will leave my side
It follows, a second shadow
Growing used to this presence filling days
I no longer fight or resist my unyielding foe.

Even in empty misery
I find comfort in knowing whatever the amount
It is the only constant I can rely on in this bitter world
Lived with lonely despair too long to count.

Words are pouring out of my eyes
No life, no sound, can reach voice
Love and pain keep trickling down my face
Anguish I'm feeling didn't come by choice.
Why would I want to be unhappy?

I am sorry if I've turned into a mess
You're so strong, you cannot break
I have my fair share of sins to admit
My well-being is at stake.

Your girl was all I wanted to be
Do I ever let you down?
I am not sure if I have it in me
To turn that beautiful smile into a frown.

You say all the special things I wanna hear
Words I've never been told
But it is time to admit I fear
This romance is starting to grow..

Do you like what I did at the end there? I thought I was being pretty clever haha.

You find yourself forgetting who I am
What about those nights wasted chasing a gram?
Do you keep memories by the side of regret?
Amongst expectations you never met

I was aching, you never seemed concerned
For a long time thought indifference was what I'd earned
Then you crushed every important dream and hope
You proved how much more you care about dope

This is the end, grey clouds are rolling coolly in
Reality stings, makes my head spin
Silent destruction I try to ignore
Can't make you go forward anymore
You cant make someone change

I love the one who
Hurts me the most, you hurt the
One you love the least
A cruel cycle
