Hold my hand, and watch me die,
wondering why.
Deep in the shadows,
of my heart,
I felt you, hiding
under my light,
I crawl my way,
unto that light,
you throw me out,
and shake me around
tell me not to come back,
into the deep dark,
shadows of my heart.
Carry me through, those eyes,
I cant seem to get passed.
Stolen, you took my heart,
and took it away,
wouldn't let me look at it,
just for one more day,
you put it in a box,
and threw away the key,
now I have an empty place,
where my heart should be.
You could have told me,
where you hid that box,
so I could go,
and take my heart back.
Running hiding, away from your eyes
trying to find a place to die peacefully...
Could you have shown
what was mine from the start
the love I gave to you,
and the pleasure to start.
you didn't care,
or even say you loved me,
you just stood there and stared
when I gave up my life for you,
you could have just helped,
instead of just watched,
but you didn't even take,
a second glance at what I brought,
my heart,
you didnt care,
just laughed, and stared.
Why didn't I say
what I needed to say?
I left you,
couldn't take the mental abuse,
could take the physical,
but not the emotional.
couldn't risk my mind
being wrapped up in a box,
and given to you,
just like my heart,
had to give that up,
I think my insanity,
went with my heart,
I'm more mellowed out,
and people think begin to think,
where's their best friend?
you took me
stole me, from my world,
and placed me in a new one,
where none could survive.
It's all empty,
none can live, cause I'm alone, once again
