Remember how we were
Before this disaster came and tore us apart?
It was the two of us, so in love
And I never thought that would end
I'll never understand how we let it end like this
And I'm willing to feel all this pain
If it gets me to the other side
But for now it just hurts
And I still don't know what it was you wanted
But you were what I needed
Now it's like cutting myself just to feel something I know was not a lie
And it stings a lot
But no matter, if you look you will still find me here
Because you can take it all away and I'll miss
And there will always be a little bit of you in all this
You can say what you think you know
But there's a better side of me to see yet
And I haven't seen any of your best
Because you were too busy taking on dollar signs, anxious
Scared of what you thought I'd need
Now everyone wants a piece of you
And everyone takes a piece of me
So take it like you took
And leave me here to shake like I've never shook
Never getting any better off
As you slip away from me
All I can do is watch
And not say anything at all....
