Through Another's Eyes


I feel sad and alone I feel numb and tired and cold I’m not someone people love or want around I want to go get lost in sleep and never be found Don’t pretend that you need me here Don’t act like it’s a big deal, there won’t be any tears When I’m gone, will anyone notice? When I’m gone, will anyone care? I’d swallow a thousand pills if I had the guts And didn’t worry that it might not be enough I’d put a gun to my head and I wouldn’t say goodbye first Don’t say this problem’s only temporary ‘cause it just keeps getting worse I’ll tie weights to my ankles and jump in the ocean Drowning is so morbid but I’m not even important When I’m gone, no one will notice When I’m gone, no one will care You don’t have time for me and I don’t have time for life Pretend that you love me, say it’ll be alright, but it’s not Said you’d be happier without me Yeah, you’re better off without me Maybe I’ll tie some sheets around my neck and Hang myself from my ceiling fan, am I dead? I feel so dead, so dead, I want to be dead When I’m gone, you won’t notice When I’m gone, you’ll pretend you cared Believe me when I say I don’t mean a damn thing Believe me when I say I know about all of your lies Believe it when you hear how I jumped off of a building Or put blades to my veins, the story of the year Tell all your friends that you didn’t know anything And then you’ll laugh for a few days Say you never saw it coming, there weren’t any warnings Well I’ll be gone and you’ll be okay When I’m gone, you will say: I miss her so much, she was all I had She made everything better but she was always sad Shut the fuck up. You made me feel like I wasn’t enough. You made me think I couldn’t ever be strong. Maybe you’re trying to push me over the edge. Maybe I’m not the only one who wants me dead. When I’m gone, you’ll all be happier When I’m gone, you won’t care.

Wow that was really good. And sad I'm sorry to hear about such pain but what doesn't kill us makes us stronger to carry and fulfill our destinies that are there right in front of us bravo I like it!!
