Being alone can make you fade,
make you feel like a ghost.
But it's the feeling of loneliness,
that I've come to hate the most.

I cry myself to sleep,
lying here in my bed.
This coldness in my heart,
these sad thoughts in my head.

I know I'm still alive,
trying to set myself free.
But I can't seem to run from the shadows,
that keep threatening me.

Is it my imagination,
I don't want it to be true.
This forever failing to trust myself,
no matter what I do.

Help me escape from this prison,
that I've created so long ago.
Why did you lie about loving me,
when I needed you so.

Why can't you hear me,
when I scream, when I yell.
How could you just leave me,
when you know me so well.

Will I ever be good enough,
just to walk by your side.
Can you help me repair,
the most beautiful part of me that died.

I hate myself for wondering,
if your love for me is real.
I hate myself even more for writing this,
and telling you how I feel.

When you look at me in the mirror,
I can see the anger in your eyes.
Can't you see how pretty you are,
that you don't need this ugly disguise.

I know it's really frightening,
to let go of all your laws.
I know you're so afraid of someone noticing,
all your mistakes and all your flaws.

Don't you want to be happy again,
don't you want to see what the world can bring.
Why don't you let people see the real you,
please don't try to stop this from happening.

I'm scared.
I'm just so scared.
Don't try to kill me.
Let me live.
