Behind a broken smile
How does it feel
To fade away?
While you drown
In your darkest memory
Nobody cares
But does anyone know?
The smile you wear
That it's just a show
Here I will wonder
If there's something I can do
But you won't remember
Because you never knew
I stood there watching
All your helpless pleads
Though what could I do?
There was nothing left to cease
But now I think back,
Back to that time
While you would suffer
In your very own mind
Here, I am left
With all of you cries
And without a goodbye
Though surely one day,
I will also die
