You wanted love and you got it You wanted to be left alone and you got it But now you’re sitting on an empty floor Three bottles on the ground and only one left to go Being alone has never felt so cruel Surrounded by familiar faces, yet you feel like you’re the only one Isn’t this what you wanted? Didn’t his love make you feel haunted? Run run run away You’re too embarrassed but you can’t look away You want to look him in the eye To say something, so you try “Have you ever felt like you wanted to die?”

The cruelty of an empty face
You wanted love and you got it You wanted to be left alone and you got it But now you’re sitting on an empty floor Three bottles on the ground and only one left to go Being alone has never felt so cruel Surrounded by familiar faces, yet you feel like you’re the only one Isn’t this what you wanted? Didn’t his love make you feel haunted? Run run run away You’re too embarrassed but you can’t look away You want to look him in the eye To say something, so you try “Have you ever felt like you wanted to die?”
