I tried to help you up.
I gave you all the light inside me.
I toughened my heart up,
So that the darkness wouldn't blind me.
You said every word I poured in,
It had to count for something.
But it was all for nothing.
I swear it was all for nothing.
I gave you all my energy,
But it went right down the drain.
Now I have nothing left,
And I'm the one stuck in the rain.
Every prayer I prayed.
Every night I stayed.
You threw it all away.
I swear you threw it all away.
I don't know what I've become.
I can't get back what I put in.
I lost myself, what have I learned?
To never help you again.
I thought we'd come so far,
Now we're right back at the start.
And I'm the one who's torn apart.
I swear I'm the one who's torn apart.
I let this place consume me,
But now there's nowhere to run.
I say I never have regrets,
But I wish I'd never come.
I cry out, no one hears.
I've wasted all my tears.
I was better off on my own.
I swear I was better off all alone.
