Weighed down By dark desires Burdened By the love I have Unable to keep you Yet unable to let you leave I've been here before My heart is breaking As I sit here staring at the floor The tears are back Burning as they always have Bitter tears For wants and wishes and dreams That can never be I've been here before Crushed by promises that were broken Before they were ever made Torn apart By the pain I feel inside You are my darkest dream You are my midnight fantasy I want to go down with you Into that world beneath the light I want to slip away into oblivion To be consumed By the darkness that follows you Wherever you go There is romance In your tragedy There is a brilliance In your despair I love you and I hate you I want you and I need you You are everything And I am nothing I have been here before Lost and confused Unsure of what to do Asking a God I don't believe in For guidance Screaming in my mind Grasping for meaning In something I cannot possibly understand I have been here before And it broke my heart I have been here before And I lost my mind I have been here before And it took the very breathe from me I cannot go there again I cannot.

I've Been Here Before
Weighed down By dark desires Burdened By the love I have Unable to keep you Yet unable to let you leave I've been here before My heart is breaking As I sit here staring at the floor The tears are back Burning as they always have Bitter tears For wants and wishes and dreams That can never be I've been here before Crushed by promises that were broken Before they were ever made Torn apart By the pain I feel inside You are my darkest dream You are my midnight fantasy I want to go down with you Into that world beneath the light I want to slip away into oblivion To be consumed By the darkness that follows you Wherever you go There is romance In your tragedy There is a brilliance In your despair I love you and I hate you I want you and I need you You are everything And I am nothing I have been here before Lost and confused Unsure of what to do Asking a God I don't believe in For guidance Screaming in my mind Grasping for meaning In something I cannot possibly understand I have been here before And it broke my heart I have been here before And I lost my mind I have been here before And it took the very breathe from me I cannot go there again I cannot.
