You should have fought for us, my baby.
Where were you when I was lonely?
I needed a hand.
I needed you to hold me, but you said things aren't working out.
Where were you when I needed you?
Was our love in vain?
Why did you walk away so easily when my heart bled for your love?
Time keeps going on like a runaway train.
I effortlessly cry for you like a weeping willow in the rain.
Where were you when I needed you?
Was our love in vain?
Why did you walk away so easily when my heart bled for your love?
I pled you to take me back while I was on my knees.
You told me that you're tired of trying to make me happy.
So I guess this is goodbye.
You don't need my heart.
You were here, and now you're not.
Baby now I'm singing just like slipknot.

Prompt: Prompt: "I still press your letters to my lips
And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss
I couldn't face a life without your lights
But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight"
"Snuff" by Slipknot
