It's been 2 weeks
Since you stopped the clock
Since the meaning of forever changed
And I have since forever changed
Yes, I say a piece of my soul died 2 weeks ago
You took my favorite piece of me
The one that believed
Despite my cynicism, against my intuition
There were so many reasons not to believe
Almost as many as there were to love you
It was us against the world
We were going to forget the world
We were going to build our own world together
You were going to give me the world
And well, you became my world
Oh, you promised everything
Just as you deserted everything
And it meant the world to me
You insist you meant everything
But I wonder if you ever mean anything
I ask you if you ever loved me at all
And you say yes of course
But I can't trust what I can't understand
And you can't make me understand
So I ask myself if you ever loved me
But I don't like the answer that comes to mind
Can't you see the state I'm in?
Why did you do this to me?
I don't know you anymore
I don't know if I ever did
Similarly, who am I without you?
What do I amount to?
