Why are we here? How did we get here? Where do we go from here? When did you stop loving me? Was it a year ago? Two? Was is more than that? When did the feelings start to fade? What did I do for you to stop caring? The thing is I feel like you think I'm terrible I'm walking garbage You left me like I was What did you see in me In the first place? Why did you even choose me In the first place? Was it slow? Was it some specific action? I tried to be there for you I tried to help But you never let me in You never let me help Even when you were vulnerable You were still closed up I feel like I never knew you I feel like you wouldn't know me anymore I'm not the same person I'm different, things have changed They will never go back to What they were But I have this sick fantasy Made up in my head That you'll call me at 3 a.m. Voice shaking and heart aching You'll take everything back You'll say sorry and want me again Want me like how I want you I can't talk to anyone The way I can talk to you I can't sit in silence with anyone The way silence feels comfortable with you No one feels like you My heart is empty I've been doing stupid things Letting stupid things happen Just so I can feel something Anything at all But everything is numb It feels like I'm in a play I'm a guest star in my own life I'm sleep walking on set I'm a robot, performing basic functions I'm a puppet, letting everyone tug on my strings Nothing feels real anymore No where feels like home No one feels like home I don't know what to do or where to go I am stuck in a place I'm not even sure where it is anymore I can't stop rambling Filling this empty space Nothing fills this empty space My heart still aches Everyone feels like a stranger No where is home I just want to die Because then the pain would be over At least I wouldn't feel empty I just wouldn't exist anymore That's better than this empty I feel I can't go back I don't think I deserve to go back I don't deserve a lot of things I don't deserve a lot of people I don't deserve to be here They don't deserve someone As empty as me As cold and harsh as me Everyone is pretending to like me My own lover hates the way I look My own family tolerates me That's why I can't leave If I were to leave What would I do? Where would I go? I'm trapped I'm trapped in this empty shell I'm trapped in my own head I'm trapped in this relationship I'm so tired
