Let me ask
Does the guilt crush you?
Until you can’t feel anymore
Does it **** you?
Until you are too numb to breathe
Does it leave you empty?
To where you chase pointless hope

Because YOUR lies crushed ME
Where I cannot feel
They killed me
Where I’m too numb to breathe
They’ve left me empty
Where I chase pointless hope
That one-day maybe, you’ll truly love me
You say you do
You’ve convinced yourself
But if you did
You wouldn’t look
Somewhere else

Im paralyzed with pain
A numbing sting
An empty stain
Every day
It becomes a part of me
In every way
Who I am
An empty shell
Feelings are dead
My mind can’t tell
It’s complete dread

I try to heal
To forgive
I try to trust
You once again
but in return
I have a guarded heart
With a dark soul, like fire it burns
Are we better apart?

You’ve tainted me
Every breath
You’ve killed my soul
I’m ready to greet death

But I tell my lungs
They can’t give out
I tell my heart
To love without doubt
I tell myself
we must work through
Keep going together
A couple of two
Nausea every time
You leave my sight
I lay awake every night

You are like ******
My one true addiction I have to fight
Every dose keeps me alive
But every time
Its kills me inside
So tell me
Does the guilt make you feel alive?
The adrenaline rush of a new girl
To **** inside
Another victim to get addicted
To your sweet demeanor outside
Tell me
Does the same thing
That keeps you alive
Also **** you deep inside?
