Late at night, when your words are eating me alive Does it make you sad to leave me here like that? In my dreams, the blood runs from my eyes If I fall, will you catch me in your arms?

Why does it bother you? I said I'm sorry Does it bother you? Why does it bother you?

First, the shock hits you hard Like a car crash into trees Then denial: "Oh no, this Can't be happening to me" Now the anger coming strong Can't control my violent thoughts Slowly, fear comes crawling in What am I supposed to do? How can I go on? I can't live on my own If you leave me now, I'm lost If you leave me now, I'm lost forever Lost forever Lost forever If you leave me now, I'm lost If you leave me now, I'm lost forever Lost forever Lost forever Then depression suffocates you Like a heavy, humid rug You can't move, you can't eat Can't get out of bed or sleep Oh, the sadness, all the endless Rolling floods of tears runs dry Then acceptance slowly settles And forgiveness makes you find peace again How can I go on?

If you leave me now, I'm lost forever (I can't live on my own) lost forever Lost forever
