What's this feeling I have now?
My heart is dark somehow.
You realize the truth.
Seeing I out lived his youth.
You can't console me.
You're not the one I see!
Stop being so damn kind!
Please,
You're breaking up my mind!

You're not the one I need!
You're burning all my dreams!
You cannot realize,
I cannot accept his goodbyes!

[Chorus]

Because you're not him...
You're not him...
You're not the one to blame.
I just so sick with shame!
Feeling relieved is why I cried,
Because I'm not the one who died!
I feel so disgusted by myself,
For not saving him before he killed himself...

How do you not fall apart?
You loved him from the start.
Why can't I realize the truth?
My pain is blazing through the roof!
What did he mean to you?
I thought you were hurting too!
Stop holding me so close!
You're leaving my heart exposed!

You're not the one I need!
Stop it, just set me free.
You cannot realize,
I want to be the one who says goodbye!

[Chorus]

Because you're not him...
You're not him...
You're not the one to blame.
This world and I are the same!
When we've lost someone, we cried,
Because we're not the ones who died!
We feel so disgusted by ourselves.
Because we want to be the ones who kill ourselves!

We cried!
We tried!
So many times.
To be unbreakable.
But our hearts are glass and will shatter someday.

Don't say a word!
Don't be absurd!
Just let me go!
I don't need to know!
Just why you love me,
And why you need me!
Just don't say anything!
Please don't say anything!

[Chorus]

Because you're not alone...
You're not alone...
You are not the one to blame.
Our auras think the same.
We lost someone and we cried.
Because we're not the ones who died.
I know you're hurting now.
Just stay with me somehow.
I need you so damn much...
Let me warm you with my touch.

You're not alone...
But you're not him...
You're not alone.
Please don't let me go...

These lyrics were based off the tragedy of family and friends losing a loved one who is a suicide victim. These lyrics are to represent how suicide affects the victim's loved ones and the negative consequences it has on everyone.
The victim may believe that no one would miss them if they were gone, but there are ALWAYS people who will miss them and NEED them.
