You're The Reason

You’re the reason I never sleep

You’re always creeping into my dreams

I scream “Go away!”

But I really want you to stay

You’re the reason I still cry

You’re the reason that girl died

She was me but now I’m not

And you won’t accept what I’ve become

You were the thing that kept me alive

Now you make me want to die

I got scared, ran away

But I thought you’d still be there someday

You’re the name I scream out loud

When there’s no air in my lungs

I pushed you away hoping you’d hold on

But you just let me go

You’re the pain that aches through me

Every single scar on my heart

Somehow you’re still cutting me

With the knife I placed in your hand

You’re the reason I shake at night

The reason I can’t breathe

You’re the thing that’s keeping me alive

All the while, killing me.

So I kick and cry

I shout and scream

Letthing my veins bleed out

Please, darling, save me

You say you wish things hadn’t changed

But you won’t listen to me

Things could be the same again

And I could get some sleep

You tell me that I lied

You tell me you love me

But darling honey if I died

You wouldn’t even blink

I scream “I hate you!”

Though I know inside

I never really could

Cause I love you with every crack you’ve make

Through all the bad and good

I hate the way you changed your hair

The fact that you still breathe

You told me that if I was gone

You simply wouldn’t be

So how, my love, is it that

You’re standing in front of me

Living, breathing, forgetting how

You so deeply once loved me

You say I’ve changed

And maybe so

But you won’t give me a chance

So how could you know that I’m changed

When you won’t even glance

You swore that you were different

You’d never break my heart

But oh, my love, can’t you see?

You’ve torn that thing apart.

You’ve hurt me more than any other

Has ever done before

So now I say the time has come

To shut that creaky door

I’ll climb out the window if I must

To get away from it all

I’ll jump out from the seventh floor

I’m not afraid to fall

I’ve fallen for you and I can assure

That off a building

Would be far far less pain

Than that of loving you
