I'm so afraid I'll be lost, I'm afraid I'll lose. I have to take a path, I have to choose, but I don't know. I've got no clues, but to me that's not news. I'm afraid I'll lose my mind. I don't want you to be here when I do. I don't know what you'll find. We're both going in blind. I try to stay caught up but I'm falling behind. I'm going back in rewind. I'm scared, I'm terrified. I can't move, I feel petrified. Even still after I tried and tried and I was all alone while I cried. I see you there looking mystified. It hurts me because it seems like you don't understand. All I can remember is when I gave my hand. We were supposed to stick together, just like we planned. I'm torn because I still need you here. But I don't want you to fall to fear. I'm about to lose it, it's coming. The end is near. My destiny is soon to appear. That look in your eyes is killing me. Inside I'm dying. Your eyes are killing. You can stay if you're still willing. I just feel like you don't get what I'm feeling. Your breath from your words is chilling. I'm left in the cold, I'm left in the dark. My soul is the only thing I haven't sold. I've saved my heart for you, and for that I feel bold. It's the one thing I can't let anybody else hold. But you're not here. I've got nothing, I fold. I feel it, I can just let go. I'm screaming because you don't know. I need to tell you why I feel so low. Can you hear me? I'm still here. But you are long gone. All I can expect is to be treated like a con. In this world I am just a pawn. I'm alone waiting for dawn. Without you I am nothing. I just wish you felt the same. This whole thing wasn't a game. Can you hear me call your name? Simple words don't explain it well. I can't tell you why I fell. Why I made myself a shell. Why everyday is a living hell. But I can tell you why I'm still alive. I can tell you why I didn't take one last dive. It's because of you that I survive. And suddenly you appear. I'm paralyzed. Beyond comprehension I'm hypnotized. I put my arms around you. I am so surprised. We were dawned by the same fate.
