Dec 2013
I stare into the empty glass
And I realize it's my life
I tried to stop myself
But I kept looking at the knife
And you don't care for me
You thought I was a joke
Now the flames are taking over me
With the smoke, I'm left to choke

You wouldn't talk with me
Walk with me
Hang with me
Laugh with me
Love with me
Goof off with me
It would just feel so good
To let you go
But I can't let you go

I see the ink dripping
I notice it's my blood
And I feel like all you ever wanted
Was for me to suffer enough
You get so angry at me
You can't even look at my face
But I'll keep trying to show you
I'm not such a disgrace

You wouldn't care for me
Breathe for me
Cry for me
Die for me
Bleed for me
Pray for me
It'd feel so good to let go
But I can't let you go

I prayed all the time
That someday, you'd love me
And that I'd get the chance
To tell you how I feel

Looked at the text message
And saw those are my words
And when you read it
It was the worse thing that you ever heard
So I'll just stay here
While you're hung up in bed
And we'll both keep thinking about
All the stupid things I said

I guess we'll never know
If I could ever let you go
