On my knees praying
When today is tomorrow
And today crumbled

Holding in my tears
When people you loved **** you
Desperate in despair

City lights blind you
While you try to get away
Escape all your guilt

Maybe selfishly
You took what you needed so
You could be at peace

Just for a minute
You give up everything for
Them to be happy

But you always give
And you never take a thing
Yet your torn apart

By consuming guilt
That you wish you couldn't feel
But you do anyways
