I turn off the lights, and lie down to sleep
But the timing is the worst; your memory begins to creep
I see you when I close my eyes, I can feel you in my bones
But your features begin to fade, into the distant unknowns
I feel so alone without you, powerless and weak
But it’s only the monsters beneath my bed, who are left to hear me speak
I can’t help thinking about you, you sleep in my head
But then I look over, to where you used to lay in my bed

You used to be my everything, that’s why I can’t let you go
But now you choose not to notice me, and therefore will never know
You are one who I confided in, a chance I rarely take
But you took it for granted, all at my mistake
You know I’m doing all I can, if only you would stay
But you took what I was good for, and then you went away
You owned up to you image, and just like that you’re gone
But things with you could’ve been different, if only you hung on

You are your own worst enemy, it’s eating you alive
But I worry about your destructive habits, the ones you won’t survive
You aren’t an awful person, the good outweighs the bad
But no one sees your compassion, the way that I always had
You make unhealthy choices, I notice your regression
But it seems to hurt me more than you, as I take place in your depression
You made it clear what you wanted, you are happier now it seems
But here I am all alone, only seeing you in my dreams

I want to let go of these feeling, they are torturous to me
But your voice is a constant reminder, which cannot leave me be
I know that you will always be there, although I wish you’d disappear
But you will always remain in my mind, your voice whispers in my ear
I know that it best for me, to let you go on your own
But you will always be of company, while I’m lying here alone
I know that I will never forget you; you are one who I adore
But now it is time to put you to rest, until I lie here again once more
