"Inhale, Exhale"

Memories of you haunt me Visions of us together taunt me Too bad it wasn't meant to be You knew that all along so why Didn't you just tell me? Did you enjoy living the lie? Inhale lies Exhale pain With bloodshot eyes I scream your name I cried I couldn't breathe I almost died You wouldn't believe The pain I felt because of you When you said that we were through. You were my drug injected under my skin Everyday I fight to retain sanity But I just can't win Because my next fix will never be. When we see each other you act like you don't know my name Yet your memories still fill me with so much shame. Inhale lies Exhale pain With bloodshot eyes I scream your name. Now no matter what you say My pain will never go away Throughout the years I shed so many tears I used to be love drunk But now I'm sober because it's all over. I inhaled your lies And exhaled pain My eyes are no longer bloodshot Because now it's my name you can't forget.
