Confused and Alone
Staring out at the rain
My heart shattered inside
It’s the end of the world
Where I felt alive
My heart is on empty
Hopeless, alone
Lost in a world that had seemed like my own
I’m unsure where to go
Know that I can’t go back
Want to forgive
But can’t ever forget
You were who I looked up to
Who I was closest to
You were my rock when I was adrift
I told you my hopes
Sang you my dreams
How could you ever do this to me?
Was I not there enough?
Did I not care enough?
Does your life mean less to you than it does to me?
I stood by your side
Watched you day and night
Made sure you were alive
Breathing, all right
But now you are so many miles away
And I don’t know if you’re coming back, though you say
You say that you will, but I know that you won’t
You’re reluctant to come home, you’ll be all alone
At least down there you have someone with you
But I gave up two years of my life to stay with you
I’ve grown up more now than I was back then
I see the darkness that you’d hidden within
You’re so different from the way you were when he died
And now you’ve given up to be by his side
It’s only a matter of time before I’ve lost you both
I just hope for our sakes that we’ve mended what you broke.
