I'm Alive


Day after day you live. For what reason? There isn't one to give, There is only poison. As the clock ticks, And the earth turns. My heart still beats And so does yours. Now that you're gone I realize how much it hurts to see you're doing ok. My pain keeps my heart alive and at bay. I am not weak. But I am not strong. Because of you, I will never stay. And because of this I am afraid. You made me love and now I've lost. But trust me when I say all of this is your cost. Now my heart beats for something new. And its dangerous because its to get revenge on you.
