Losing Life

How much longer can this pain sting?

How much longer will this fire burn?

How much more will be ripped at the seams?

How much more is this going to turn?


You gave me everything, you showed me love

I would do anything, to be with you above

Above my head, in the clouds you hide

I wish I was dead, to see you another time


As tears soak my shirt and my heart beats so slowly

Know that I loved you, and loved you only.

I dream of you every night,

I see you every time I turn off the light


Every time I close my eyes I can feel myself die

When I realize you're not actually there by my side.


The longing to be in your arms once more

The painful moment when you walked out the door

I was unaware that would be the last time

That I got to see you and imagine you as mine


You slipped away from me, so fast it would seem

When I heard the news I wanted to scream.

You were my antidote, you kept me sane

Now here without you, my life feels so vain


So please forgive me for the damage I've done

I'd take it back but I fear it's already won.

The weight on my shoulders feels like a ton

The slowness of my breathing has already begun.


If I knew this would be the outcome

Then I wouldn't have done it

If I knew this would happen

Then I would've stopped it


I wish I tried harder, I wish I saved you

I wish you were still here, I wish I could hold you

But instead there you are, and I couldn't rescue you

I hope you know I'm sorry, I've always loved you


As blood stains the floor and I stare up at the ceiling

I see you in my mind and hear you whisper to me

I feel your warm breath, the feeling of your skin

I taste your old tears, from your unwanted sins


You never did nothing wrong, nothing but blame yourself

You were perfect to me, you did so well

The pain you'd hide, the braveness you'd show

Sometimes you have to give up, and let others know
