You asked me if I thought about you
And I lied and said I hadn't
I wanted to scream
Because all Id done
Was think about you
In my sleep
While I eat
In the shower
On my knees crying
Smoking a cigarette you guessed it thinking about you
You take and take from me
Never realizing what your really taking
You carelessly take pieces
Never knowing if you keep taking
There won't be anything left
And when you run out of things to take
There won't be anything left of me
When Everything's quiet
My thoughts are the loudest
In this darkness
I ponder my mistakes
I feel like I'm running
From everything that's hiding
Deep inside
Everything's quiet
My thoughts are the loudest
In this meadow of darkness
I ponder my mistakes
I feel like I'm running
From everything that's hiding
Deep inside
What if I told you that girl over there.
Yeah the one you just complimented on how skinny she's gotten.
What if I told you that that girl is starving.
Starving in so many ways.
Yes she is hungry. In the literal way and metaphorical way.
She is starving but it goes deeper than that.
She wants to be seen. She wants love. She wants life.
She wants happiness. She wants to be pretty. She wants the things you do.
Hell she doesnt know what it is she wants anymore.
Maybe she is just like you in away.
She cant even pinpoint when she decided this for herself.
Maybe it was the first compliment. The first time a guy looked at her.
The first time someone told her she was pretty.
She wanted to be prettier skinnier better.
She doesnt even realize she is living in hell, or maybe she does and doesnt care.
She wants all these things that much. That she doesnt care.
And you are "feeding" into that with every compliment, every look and every word.
She has made herself weak. Weak in so may ways.
Mentally and physically. Now look again. You see it now. Dont you?
You see the circles the tiredness in her eyes.
Now look again you see the sad the hurt and the pain.
Now look again you see that she is me. Now look again she could easily be you.
I'm running away
From my mistakes
I dont have to explain
Why I cant stay
I'm running away
From the tears I shed
The pain I felt when you left
I'm running away
And in the past you'll stay
I don't know where you've been
And I can only imagine
Your soul is lost
Heart as cold as ice
When was the moment
You turned into such a tortured soul
What made you so cold
When did your heart break
Who let you down
So bad you broke
Where was I
When you had no one
Why didn't I know you then
