How do I honor my dead
when I am trapped
among the living?
Silent screams inside
of my head,
left unheard to those
who surround me.
I have something to say,
but I am left without
a voice to speak.

A ragged breath drawn in
to help extinguish the agony,
the deep, unfettered torture
that sums the entirety of my existence.
And I've had enough
I've done enough.
But then inside I can only
see that I am not enough.
Swirling round and sinking down.
Down into the sweet abyss of darkness.

I never dreamed
I'd live to see the day
when the words 'I love you'
would hurt so much to say.
And I'd be lying
if I told you I could stay,
but I can't come to terms
with us being through
How did we get here?
When did things change?
I thought 'I love you'
meant we'd stay the same,
but things have been different
since I'm not sure when.
How did we get to the end?

I've been sitting here thinking
of all the things gone wrong.
All those years spent drinking,
so many chances gone.
The roller coaster ride of life
never seems to stop.
No time for healing
and no way to get off.

I'm not the kind
who needs many things,
A new fancy house
or big diamond ring.
The things I need most
are the ones you can't see;
a loving heart, giving soul
and complete honesty.
So tell me right now
if you're not the one
who's looking for love
not just out for some fun.
My heart is looking
for someone to hold,
a passionate romance
that doesn't go cold
But grows into love
that's tender and sweet
a love that is playing for keeps.

I know what's right
and I know what's wrong
And I know this fight
is over before begun
But I never give up
just won't give in
'Cause I know my time
hasn't reached its end
Maybe I'm weak
but maybe I'm strong
Maybe this road
is where I belong
But I never give up
just won't give in
'Cause I know my time
hasn't reached its end
