Darkened Souls: First Collection

I Can't Live [With Myself]

Yes my dear, we all make mistakes

But no one has ever been so fake

No one has ever put you through this

No one can help me overcome it.

With every word I say to you

A thousand more come out as lies

I can't help it, it's something I do

But I'm trying to change into something you won't despise.

You say I have nothing to apologize for

But darlin' I have so much more

So many more choices I have made

That all came crashing back today.

I told you once that all I would give

Was the truth from that moment on

But I know that for as long as I live

All hope for truth is gone.

I don't know how you trust me

I can't understand what it is you see

Because you don't know the slightest thing

Yet you still wish to buy me a ring.

I have to live with the choices I made

But baby it is far past time for me to be over

I can't live with myself after today

Because I let these lies grow ever older.

So honey when you start to miss...

When you start to miss me tomorrow

I'll be thinking of your sweet, sweet kiss

As you try to find me through my despair and sorrow.

I will be forever silenced, lips forever shut

So I can't tell any more lies but

Before I am silent once and for all

Kiss me one last time, just to stall.
