Keep Up


I'm falling behind

I can't keep you in my mind

You're just tearing me apart

From everything that's in my heart

There used to be a we

But now there's just me 

You have ruined my past life

That it feels like you stabbed me with a knife

I thought I had you

But now you're someone brand new

I thought I was protected

But I just second-guessed it

You had me wrapped around your thumb

Until I became terribly numb

It feels like you ruined my sight

That I don't know which is left or right

Now I need to stay strong

Even though this road is long.
