Why?

“Why?”

Cauterize this sensitive heart
Make it callous to his grip
It strangled even the shallow part
Sinking to a new low, one-way trip

Why's their no air left inside?
Why's their so much pain inside?
Why's their so much space inside?
Why's their so much of you inside?

Why did my time, you bide?
Why did you take me for a ride?
Why did you pretend and lie?
Why did you leave me here to cry?

Why did you cower and hide?
Why did you make me your bride?
Why did you leave me empty inside?
Why do I feel like I've just died?

Your memories will always reside
My pain from you will be my guide
I'm making sure the knot is tightly tied
Making sure now I'm dead outside…..
