Do you understand?
Do you know what it's like?
Waiting...
Day after day...
Looking back over you're shoulder.
Haunted day and night,
By the man who holds your heart and soul.
Do you know,
What it's like...
To feel completely hollow inside?
To have the constant burn,
Of loss.
Do you understand...
That i'm tired of playing.
I'm tired of putting on a show.
To hide what's gone inside?
Do you know what it's like...
To hear a car drive by,
and have your heart,
Leap into your throat?
Only to be disappointed yet again?
Do you understand?
That hopes' all I got left?
The searing burn of it,
is the only reason I make it through another day.
Do you know,
What it's like to love someone,
So much,
It hurts more than any pain,
You've ever experienced before?
Do you get,
that you don't have a fucking clue?
That your carelessness,
only kills that light sheen of hope even further.
Do you get,
That without him,
I am sincerely nothing?
Does it matter?
Do you understand now,
Why the light in my eyes has died?
It's hard for there to be a light,
If there's no soul.
Do you understand,
that I need you to care.
That I need you to acknowledge,
this pain i'm harboring inside?
Do you understand,
I need you...
So that I can survive...
Without him for now?
