Spineless
Infectious cold,
I've spent living with neglect,
bitter and dark,
I shut off from everything,
Yet I still can't let you go,
I'm still not over it.
The distance kills me, but your presence's a threat,
I can't forgive,
I can't forget,
there’s no escape,
There's no escape,
I can't reflect.
Please, just let me let you go.
For too long I have lived just another slave bound by your torment.
Please don't forget me.
Please don't forget me.
How do you sleep at night?
With the children you abandoned.
Guess in wasn't enough to do it to the others,
Don't close your eyes and pretend I don't exist.
You left a void that never could be replaced.
I am dying inside but you will never see,
Do I ever even cross your mind,
Just for a second?
Do you know I'm alive?
You have no clue what I've been through,
I'm sick of the way that you pushed me away,
when times got tough you jumped ship.
I begged you to stay,
you just turned away,
gave me the cold shoulder.
Out of place and you turned away,
Leaving nothing but the mess that you made.
For years I blamed myself,
when all along you could have made this right.
Sleepless nights,
wondering what I did to drive you away,
do you even care?
do you even care..
Now that Im older,
I only wonder,
was meant to be?
simply destiny.
Ive grown,
stronger,
Ive gained the spine you lack,
it must have been so hard to turn your back,
now time for payback,
its my turn to walk out on you,
its your effing loss.
