You've never felt loneliness until you've seen an x-ray of my bones,
You’ve never felt pain until you’ve seen my flesh melting off my skin every time you forgot my birthday,
You've never felt like a ghost until you fade like yesterday's news,
I used to name my battle wounds after you,
I used to spend long nights over you,
I thought happiness was somewhere in your voice,
You've never felt heartache until the only hope you had left you.

You've never felt loneliness until you've seen an x-ray of my bones,
You’ve never felt pain until you’ve seen my flesh melting off my skin every time you forgot my birthday,
You've never felt like a ghost until you fade like yesterday's news,
I used to name my battle wounds after you,
I used to spend long nights over you,
I thought happiness was somewhere in your voice,
You've never felt heartache until the only hope you had left you.
