It’s always me and
That one mistake that follows
As if my shadow

Please don't take another
Bite of my tortured soul
I don't think I can take
Another second more

Please don't look through me
When I'm right here
I know I'm not much to you
But I don't want to disappear

Please don't leave me withered
And out here alone to die
I've had enough of love
So just hold my hand one last time

I took care of you.
I loved you, I kissed you.
I hugged you, i spent on you.
What happened to you?

Who are you? Is this you?
I hear scary things about you!
The things you do recently.. Thats not you!
What happened to you?

Remember, I know you!
What in the world changed you?
I guess another change would be best for you.
What happened to you?

It was always me and you!
You selfish now, its always you you you!
You've found someone else, good for you!
And i wish nothing but the best for you.

I once said "I love you"
And I still do, its just not clear for you!
But I'm also leaving you!
I'll search until I find a better you

What happened to you?
Whatever hurts and breaks you.
It's no longer on me but you.
Cause all the decisions were made by you!

I can only wonder
What life's plan is for me,
Is the future full of happiness
Or still full of misery.

I understand what pain is
Grief and heartache to,
And I'd like to know what happiness is
No doubt so do some of you.

I often wonder why it is
My life has been so sad,
Not knowing is worse than all the pain
Not knowing is sending me mad.

I don't sleep much at all now
My mind is always on line,
But I know that the answer will come to me
It's all just "A Matter of Time".

What do you fear?
What makes you shed a tear?
What is your worst nightmare?
What makes you care?

I fear being stuck in a place,
seconds turn into hours into days.
Before I know it I am one with the place,
giving into the routine of my days.

The mirror looking back with judging eyes.
Crusing through life while time flies,
what happened to the kid's dreams,
remember, we burnt it in the routine flames.

I am falling through the sky,
losing grip on my fantasy,
slipped through my hands, the clarity,
woke up back in reality.

I care because I fear,
the failure, will tear
me apart, the liar
says I am a believer.
The questions asked in the first paragraph are answered in subsequent paras with each para representing the answer to each question. The final paragraph answers the most important question of why do I care, why not just give in to the routine? I care because I fear failure(here the failure for me is leading a life full of routines instead of chasing my dreams) and I fear failure tearing me apart. While all this is happening I also have a liar inside of me who says he believes in me.

I know this feeling is just a lack of dopamine,
Believe me when I say I'm trying
Trying
Trying
Trying
Trying to find some dopamine
To motivate me...

I have already forgotten you.
I am a fool if I say that
I still love you,
You no longer matter to me
It's impossible that
I always remember our times together
I am already moving on;
It is a great lie when I say
I still miss you badly.
I must tell you what's in my heart.

I may not believe in soulmates
but I do believe that there's someone
out there waiting for you-
whose face you will wake up to
for the rest of your life.
Sure, you may not believe me now-
you can't get over them today-
you probably won't tomorrow-
but just remember that
the silence is okay.
These grey periods in life
are finite and do not need
words to colour them in.
