Tell me you love me.
Tell me you care.
Tell me you'll hold me when I'm in despair-

Smile, laugh and cry with me.
Feel the pain of the world with me,
See the world as I see.
Listen to the music of the world with me.

But you can't, cause you left me.
Here alone in this copy & paste world.
When you aren't the same, they make you feel like you've gone insane.


Calling you names, like everything they say is only a game.
But I don't want to play this awful game.
I just want it to be the same as before.

 

Whispers, and notes-
This is how my heart broke-
The cruelty, the hurt.
My heart laying there in the dirt-
Smashed to pieces, broken little shards of glass-
It can't be put back together again.

 

So here I am, alone again in my room.
Contemplating my demise.
Wondering if anyone one would even cry if I waved goodbye.

 

Digging deep, seeing red
My whole world continues to spin.
My body is light, then heavy again.
Then I do it again, and again.
But you'll never see because what I let you see-
Is this plastic mask of mine that I hide behind.
