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.
This is more of a song I decided to try my hand at writing a song so please be gentle with the criticism.
