Left Behind

I broke myself down
just so you wouldn’t go
I thought you stayed
only cause I was hurting you know

and when you started to leave
I tore up my heart
so you wouldn’t disappear
putting us back to where we start

I love you so much
with an infinite ocean of pain
I’m an implosion of emotion
that you thought was all in my brain

but it’s in every fiber of my being
every atom and cell
it’s vibrating in every different frequency
a unique kind of hell

I know you will never love me
not like I love you
so I break myself down
because it’s all I can think to do

I’m your soulmate with a broken soul
I’m the memory you never remember
I’m that shadow at the back of your mind
I’m your hearts defender

so tell me you won’t leave me behind
and I’ll promise a thousand things
please don’t leave me behind
I could be your angel without wings

but you don’t want a wingless angel
you don’t want a broken soul
you want a beauty with wings
a girl who’s still whole
