Caught in this glass box
Can't seem to figure out
which way is up and which way is down
Is this what it feels like to drown?
Can't find a way out of this mess
I want to make it out alive
But at what cost?
I won't lose my drive
To keep on going
Just like you would want me to
It won't make me love you any less
I'm trapped in this pain
In these lies
Waiting for the sun to rise
Can't breath
Can't think
Can't close my eyes
It hurts to remember
But I don't want to forget
What we have left
Means everything to me
I can't lose that too
I just want to see you smile
Watch the light in your eyes
Hear your laugh once more
But I know that you're gone
For good this time
And I'll never get you back
No matter how much I wish I could
I miss everything about you
I see your face
When I close my eyes
The memories flash across my mind
And fade away
As the tears drown them out
Your ashes in that curling rock
I can't walk into that house without wincing
Feel that familiar pinching pain in my chest
Tears in my eyes
Fear in my heart
And a smile on my lips nonetheless
I act like it's all okay
But it won't ever be again
It's not the same without you
So here I am
Trapped between
My wants and needs
Painfu memories
And harder still
The thought of letting them go
I just want to remember you
The way you were
And love you until the end
