He can't hear the words I scream,
Nor feel what I feel inside,
I'm so lost in loneliness,
So far from my pride.
I feel sick to my stomach,
Lying here on the ground,
My sense seem lost,
I can't make a sound.
I can't find my place,
Don't know what to do,
I feel so, so ugly,
Pathetic through and through.
I'll never be enough,
It will never be ok,
I can't stand the pain,
It just won't go away.
I don't want to pretend,
No, I don't want to lie,
But when I try to explain,
They tell me not to cry.
Nobody can see it,
Nobody wants to know,
I'm barely hanging on,
Almost ready to let go.
I can't keep talking,
I'm really struggling to hold on,
I can't describe the agony,
I've felt since he's been gone.
And I can't stop the thoughts,
Or change the words in my head,
Oh, I just can't,
So I have to hold on instead.
But I don't want to,
Because it hurts too much,
It's too late, he's left,
And we've fallen out of touch.
