Can you live without hope?
Can you live without friends?
Can you live without love?
Can you live alone
until the bitter end?
And if you can,
can you say you were happy?
That your life felt whole?
When it's all said and done,
Do you really believe
You were better off alone?
I'm not judging.
I'm just trying to understand.
How can you be truly happy
Without wanting to embrace someone
Or at least hold their hand?
falling for me,
is like a step backwards
off of a pier
with cement shoes
i'll just drag you under baby
while gasping
i love you too

Those nights when I feel like dying
No escape from my sadness or from myself
When you're supposed to be there
When you were supposed to care.
I figured you knew me well enough by now
To be able to notice when I'm losing it
Just laying here, wishing on a star
That something will come put an end to it all.
It hurts me to know that I truly don't know
That even you fall with those I shouldn't trust..
Because I tell you about everything
And find out you're returning nothing.
I feel so alone here and I can't cope
All these emotions to untangle
Surrounded by others with no one to confide in
And then to realize i might be losing my best friend.
If there's such a thing as crazy
Well then I'm well past insane
And if you need me, that's great
But, unfortunately, it's too late.

— The End —
