I can barely breathe,
But a part of me is okay with that,
My fingernails can't dig any deeper into my head,
I'm tired of the screaming,
I'm tired of the fighting,
I'm tired of the pain,
Some people are born with a purpose,
I am one of those meaningless beings,
I feel nothing,
I am nothing.

Wearing the fakest smile just to hide the pain,
I know that you feel it everyday,
I’m sorry it hurts, but life just happens that way,
I know it could **** you, but please just lose the fear,
It’d go real easy if you just shed it like tears,
How can’t you see that you’re still alive,
Even if you feel dead inside,
Don’t worry baby I could heal your wounds,
If you’d just let me really see you,
I could heal you,
And I’ll try to,
I could fix you,
If you want me to,
It may seem scary,
What I’ll have to do,
Baby I could heal you,
But who's going to save me?
Who's going to fix me?
You want to but you just can't,
I'll already be gone.

While I was collapsed on the schools' bathroom floor,
Crying into my sweater sleeve.
I found out you should never mix not eating all day, and sobbing,
As I leaned towards the toilet gagging.
I dragged my body up off the floor,
Everything was spinning.
People in the hallways asked "Are you okay?"
I said I was,
Even though my shirt was still twisted sideways,
And the bottom of my backpack was still wet from the ground of the parking lot.
Not even death could fix how much this hurts.

Slippery tongues,
And damaged lungs,
Your back inhales,
Against my digging nails,
1 kiss, 2 kiss, 3 kiss, 4
You make me feel so much more,
You left,
And took my breath,
Behind my back,
You attack,
Slippery tongues,
And damaged lungs.....

I can't fight these waves anymore,
The tides are dragging me down.
I can feel the water filling up my lungs.
This feeling inside has become too heavy for me to keep my head above the salty sea.
I want to fight it, but it has finally taken over me.
"I feel we can't go through another of those terrible times."

I'm scared of being alone,
But I have been since you left.
I feel empty now,
You're gone and you took part of me with you.
I need to be whole, before I lose myself completely.
"If anybody could have saved me it would have been you."

It seems I've lost you to the dark unknown,
A place that lives inside me.
If you broke the space between us,
Around us,
That is us,
maybe you could find someway to love me. Maybe this time,
I'll let go.
Maybe one day this will all be real.
"I am rooted, but I flow"
