I'm experiencing early withdrawals
It's like the joy has already been ripped away from me
I don't want to be forgotten
But it feels like I already have been
I don't want to be an afterthought
I'm shaking from letting my mind run so far
But I know you won't need me soon
So it feels like I already do nothing
Even when all my attention is for you
I'm always afraid of the future
Can't we stay here forever, together?
I don't want you to move on
You'll be happier when I'm dimming
You won't have a clue that I'm this selfish
Because you'll have everything you want
And I'll feel as if you're even further away
Like you've found another world and left mine behind
Don't fly away so soon
I've always been here rooting for you
But secretly not the way you must want me to
I'm sorry for these worries
Becoming like this is hurting me
I'm starting to wonder if it never should've happened
I focus too easily, then nothing else matters
So what happens when one thing matters too much?
Maybe I should have ignored what I saw
But it's too late now
I'm not letting go
Please don't leave me abandoned
It's too early for this feeling to be over,
Will I ever cross your mind after the end begins?
