I got old,
And I did it by accident
The world moves on
While I stay stagnant

Why can’t I feed myself?
Clothe myself, walk myself?
Yet I can fall myself.
Choke myself, lose myself, **** myself.

This isn’t my home. This isn’t my bed.
But I stay here. I sleep here. Until I am dead.
Strangers take care of me. They feed me strange pills.
But I have to do what they say, I have to lay still.

I share a shower with everyone else here
As well as a dining room, laundry room, and all the same fears.
There’s a fight down the hall. Dementia caused it.
Out of no where they stop. Dementia solved it.

Families in and out, staff the same.
Is it because of my age or environment that I’m going insane?
How long do I have left? That, I don’t know
What I do know, is that I'll never be able to go home.

I got old,
And I did it by accident
The world moves on
While I stay stagnant

Is there a reason you shot me?
Is there a reason that I'm dead?
Is there a reason you left me hanging by a thread?

When I thought it was over, it had only begun
Here I stand, frozen,
With no where left to run,

You took an axe to my heart,
As you choked me with your charm
My words can't escape me,
Is this over, this harm?
My screams were denied,
As you buried my cries
I'm hanging on the fence
Don't leave me to die

When you walked into my life,
I didn't know what to expect
Now I'm lying on the floor, crying from neglect

You took an axe to my heart,
As you choked me with your charm
My words can't escape me,
Is this over, this harm?
My screams were denied,
As you buried my cries
I'm hanging on the fence
Don't leave me to die

Are we thinking or are we just doing?
Did you mean what you said, or were you only fooling?
What we had wasn't just a game to me
In case you were wondering, you murdered me.

You shot down my happiness and destroyed everything I knew
If only you had held on a little longer, then maybe I'd still be with you
But instead you gave up, you stopped in your tracks
You threw it all away, and I'll never have you back

Why did you care about what everyone else wanted?
The choice was ours, and now it's left haunted
How we felt should've been the only thing that mattered
Where did we go wrong, why is my heart shattered?

I don't know what your intentions were, why did you change your mind?
Was everything we went through all just a waste of time?
What if we started over, would you **** me once again?
Or maybe forget our shot at love, would you still be my friend?

Was it all just a dream that has become a nightmare?
Will I see you again or were you never there?
If I close my eyes tightly, will you still be standing there?
Or will I open them to see nothing, but my own tears?

As they run down my face, I will realize the truth in this
I will never hold your hand, feel your touch or receive your kiss
I can forgive you for the pain I'm in, but I will never forget
The way you made me feel and all the sweet things that you said

I stand here and watch you walk away,
I want you to turn around and tell me you'll stay
But you won't. No, you won't.

It hurts me so much to watch you leave,
I wish I could somehow make you see
But I can't. No, I can't.

You always wanna run, and never wanna stay
Do you feel accomplished as you walk away?
I don't want you to go, but you won't change your mind
So, go ahead and run, just promise me you'll say goodbye

I stand here and watch you drive away,
I want you to stop the car and come back to me
But you're gone. Yeah, you're gone.

I'm trying to keep myself from crying,
Cause I know I really lost you this time
I did. You know, I did.

You always wanna run, and never wanna stay
Do you feel accomplished as you walk away?
I don't want you to go, but you won't change your mind
So, go ahead and run, just promise me you'll say goodbye

Goodbye.

Maybe if you genuinely look outside, it's pouring
Maybe that coincidence was actually a warning
How is it you perceive? What is it you believe?
There's no such thing as boring.

Choose wisely the emotions that you feed,
Look closer at your wants vs. your needs
Try standing on your opponents side,
And consider the consequences before you decide

Because everything leaves a mark, but not every mark will leave
Look around you, notice everything you see
View everyone as significant, and let them be
Let them be them, let them be free

I don't know where you're going, but neither do you,
Does that mean we're both unaware of the truth?
Maybe...

Why do you always put words in my mouth?
Maybe it's because I can't
And why don't you want to figure this out
Maybe because it's not worth it

Which one of us is assuming the worst?
Because I can't tell
And which one of us is to blame first
For this storm that fell?

Why did we crash here, and now?
Maybe we can make it back somehow
In my mind I see you hate me, but in your eyes I see different
Our assumptions are taking us down

Am I asking for too much,
Or are you giving too little?
Either way, we're in this rut,
And somehow we're both caught in the middle

Why did we crash here, and now?
Maybe we can make it back somehow
In my mind I see you hate me, but in your eyes I see different
Our assumptions are taking us down
