I wish I could rid myself of these memories -
These memories of you
I wish we had a happy ending to our story
Who knew the world could be so cruel?
It feels like there\'s an empty hole in my chest
Where only my broken heart resides
And it\'s so painful that I have to take a pill to rest
Who knew someone could feel so alone and confined?
The void in my chest has a longing for you
And grows bigger whenever I hear your name
Grows bigger when I hear our song so soon
But I especially go insane
When I see you hug and caress someone
The loving way you used to do to me
The way you look at them, so fond
Has got me wishing for a nepenthe
All I do now is cry on the bathroom floor
And stare at my broken reflections
As I think back at all the times you said \"I love you\"
Or look back at our millions of happy conversations
Because you really did make me happy
Made me feel whole, content
Now I just feel broken with contempt
Who knew life was so crappy?
Now you\'re cold and distant
It feels like it all changed in an instant
The shadows that again start to torment
The rain that pours down in a torrent -
A torrent that tastes less salty than my tears
A torrent less scary than my inane fears
Who knew
I would be left here drowning -
Left here consumed by the hole that you -
That you made
And I swear one day I will lose it
That I will explode like a million fuses
Who knew
That the world - no, that you
Could be so cruel.
