It only burns when I breathe





You said you would wait for me...
But why am I burning up in flames now
With no hopes of rising from my ashes?

You said you were never gonna leave...
But why have you disappeared from my life
When you knew I wouldn't be able to breathe without you?

You've hurt me so badly
Shredded my heart into a million tiny pieces
Strewn them across the oceans and seas...

You've left me with nothing but an empty shell
Nothing but an empty mindless unfeeling shell
Devoid of all hopes and dreams...

Why did you raise my expectations
When you knew you were only gonna let them come crashing down?
When you knew you were only gonna end up suffocating me?

And why did you let me cry myself to sleep
When you told me that you really cared?
Have you changed overnight or am I just blind?


I can't let you go...
