                                                  Crying by myself
To myself
I lie
                              That there is truth
In these dreams
I try

                              To let go
And hit the ground
I die

                              The ground blue
With tears
I cry

                              Myself to sleep
At night
I wake

                              To find my lies
In a piece
I break

                              These promises
Held tight
I take

                              My one last breath 
And chance
I ache

                              For you
