Better off
I've lost my light so I've lost my desire
The darkness consumes me like a raging fire
Its a losing effort to extinguish the flames
Will I be another victim that heartbreak claims?
I try to push on and get past the pain of loss
But my heart is shattered and I cant carry this cross
I refuse to believe this is how we were meant to be
Youre with someone else and I still choose not to see
Without you nothing is worth doing, especially living
Separated from your heart and the love you were giving
Its too much to bear and I struggle to carry on
Without someone who cares that I can rely upon
So the minutes blur into hours that then turn into days
But nothing is changing the agony still stays
And it won't get better because our souls are intertwined
I sit alone in distress as I slowly lose my mind
This wasnt supposed to be us and the universe is crying
Its throwing everything at us begging for a love thats dying
We were meant for each other but somewhere we stopped trying
You say we'll better off and I'd say I believe you but I'd be lying
