Crimson tears still flow through my veins
But I am not sure how
Because I haven’t felt alive since the day you left
I haven’t felt like myself

My legs still walk and my voice still talks
But my skin feels foreign now
Every day is a battle to get out of bed
With the memory of you still rife in my head

But there’s a voice inside
And I’m not sure where she resides
But she whispers into my ears

“Get up and keep going”

So I fight gravity to stand up on my feet
Even though it’s really hard
But the truth is very plain to see
I never needed you
I only needed me
