Thae Lies I'll Tell to Get To Sleep

I wasn't supposed to end this way
She wasn't supposed to fall in love with me
But she did
I'm bleeding out
Her jealousy was too much
Lost over control
'Hold on' she tells me
Smile so wide
If I can't have you no one can
The face I never saw
Why have I never seen her face
Though my life was spent with her
Her face blurs
I remember her touch
The way her body loved me
But not her face
Behind her envious hood
Her smile breaks
The hood comes off
I see me
Emptiness is all I see
No wonder I couldn't bring myself to love her
For I've held nothing but hatred for myself
I'm bleeding out
Last drip
But she won't help me
Since I've sent myself away
