Why am i still here
Am I besides myself about the thoughts of the future
Or reminicing upon frivolous times of the past
That even through all the loneliness I believe I'm inlove
We sleep on seperate sides of the bed
And the longest conversation we've ever had, is when we argue
The words you said will stain me like a tattoe
Where everytime you walk away feels like nothing new
As if its something I never knew
When you said you loved me, yes loved...
Was that true? , or just something you said not to come across rude
Why am I here?
When that wedding ring you wear feels like a burden
While I embrace our vows, its like making a promise to the devil
You say you love me, when your eyes depict a perfect lie
In public we the perfect couple
In closed doors I wish we were in public
You've taught me how to hate when all I ever did was love
Without my consent you aborted my only child
Why am I still here?
Why am I still here?
Why am I still here?
A question I ask myself repeatedly
Lying in this coma subconciously
Why am I still here...
Not in this relationship, but on this earth
Why didn't suicide rid me from this pain?
Why can't I be happy? , because I know I'll only receive that when I'm dead
But in this place you have no control over my life
Happiness is paradise
So why am I still here?
Because upon my wake, I'll live my life, the one you almost took away from me
