From past mistakes I've realized,
When two lives are not meant to be intertwined.

You'll forget the color of their eyes,
Irises from whom you unknowingly hide.

Flinch, not melt, under their touch,
Even if you though you loved them that much.

Tell yourself "you don't have time,"
You're avoiding them, it's just a lie.
Am I supposed to cry?
Or should I hold it together?
Would it make me look heartless
If I didn't shed a tear?
My body is breaking down to the bone
My mind is numbed by various events
Is it sickness or sadness
That is wearing me thin?
I tried to write you a song
But I couldn't get past the first verse.
What can I do to honor you now?
I wish I knew what to feel
And how to express it all.
Rest in peace Grandpa. I love you.
Take me away
So I can silently break
Let me shatter
Away from all of this clatter
I can't stand the sound
Of a life going down
I allow myself to sink
And before I can blink
I am at the bottom of the sea.
Won't someone save me?
They think I'm pure as snow
Not that I am boiling and smoking
And they will never know
That I am beyond broken
I know it's not nice
To wish bad upon people

But I hope that you think of me
As much as I think if you

I hope not talking to me eats away at you
Like it eats away at me

I hope you're restless after long nights of thinking of me
Like I am, you

I hope your heart cries with regret when you hear my name
Like mine does, yours

I hope your eyes burn when you see me smiling
Because I know mine certainly do when I see you

But most of all
I hope that one day I'll be a fond memory in your mind
Because mine is full of memories of you.
