My insides are on fire For two reasons I'm trying so hard to hold back the words I love you But they keep coming back up So I wash them back down with liquor and bleach It eats my gut feeling that I should try again Nothing helps anymore I watch myself bleed apathetically I tear an opening in my skin And invite you back inside my heart Instead you fight your way out Destroying every wall I put up I'm broken without you Why can't you see that? Why did I have to lose you? I feel the second burn As I swallow my pride And a handful of pills I write your name on every wall So there is no question as to who has killed me
